It was at this point that the voters determined that the very managers who had wrecked the economy should be put back in charge, because they were now talking capitalism and agreeing that the private sector should be the engine of growth.
The change around the end of 1989 and the new managers put their imprint on what followed for the next 18 years. While the world economy was growing, Jamaica lagged behind with less than one per cent average growth.>
