In this chapter, important lessons are devoted to other post-independent African states which are still in pursuit of sustainable development. However, before a full discourse on these, the chapter outlines eight fundamental questions which relate to Zimbabwe’s economic history. These are an important precursor to the discourse of the detailed lessons which follow later. For instance, in Fundamental Question 2, the authors ask Will Zimbabwe be able to salvage lost decades of development? This and other questions present important points of reflection on the narrative of Zimbabwe through time. Detailed lessons drawing from the narrative of Zimbabwe own experience follow. Lessons include: inspirations from the Dream Team, residuals effect, crisis begets a crisis as well as arrested development. Later on in the chapter, a detailed analysis of the case of Venezuela and similarities with Zimbabwe’s current predicament is also presented.
