14. The Birth of The Jamaican Economy
ď°The bottom third of the class
left school and went out and
created businesses.
ď°They then hired the top third
of the class to run those
businesses.
16. We Are Now in The New Work Order.
ď°It is no longer muscle of the
masses toiling in the cane
field and factories that drive
the economy.
ď°It is now brain power driving
intellectually based
enterprises that powers
knowledge based economies.
17. âPathways to Prosperityâ
ď°One of the major reasons for Jamaica continuing to be
poor is because
ď°we have not succeeded in unlocking the
entrepreneurial productive capabilities of the
majority of our people.
ď°To a large extent our socialization mantra for the
majority of our people has been and still is â
ď°"Go to school, study hard, pass your
exams then go beg a job".
18. We Are Now in The New Work Order.
ď°The requirement today is for
the top third of the class to go
out and create the jobs for
the rest of the class,
ď°if Jamaica is to be able to evolve
into the new economies that runs
the world.

there in the city - will you still sweep it away and
not spare it for their sakes?

ď Why, you would be treating the righteous and the wicked

Judge of all the earth do what is right?â
ď 26 And the Lord replied, âIf I find 50 righteous people in Sodom, I
will spare the entire city for their sake.â
ď 27 Then Abraham spoke again. âSince I have begun, let me speak
further to my Lord, even though I am but dust and ashes.
