Sub-Saharan Africa is not capitalist, it's a mix of feudalism and anarchy. Capitalism requires private ownership rights. These only exist if an effective judicial system and police are in place so that contracts are enforced. I cannot buy a piece of land in Sub-Saharan Africa with a reasonable expectation that my contractual property rights will be respected or enforced. Also there's no free trade because most aspects of society are under the control of oligarchs. You cannot just start a company, for example, without paying or offering partnerships to people with local power. This is not capitalism. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
