The Africa Commission Report is an exhilarating, exhausting and intriguing read. Exhilarating because of its breadth and political impetus. Exhausting because of its ambition and the comprehensive nature of its proposals. Intriguing because of the new twists embedded in its narratives, and the intellectual challenges they pose. It is these – the intellectual challenges – which will extend the life of the Report beyond its immediate political span.
