They quote extensively from Merrill Lynch chief investment strategist Richard Bernstein and his thoughts on what makes Africa a potential big hit in the coming years.

The study Can Africa Claim the 21st Century? made the argument that Africa has enormous unexploited potential, especially the potential of women.
