They misspelled South America. Africa's boom never began.
Seems like their growth is being stifled by trade agreements which are agreed by governments. If it was a free market they wouldn't have this problem.

Investing other people's money
Top kek, governments are terrible investors... Why? Because you really dont give a shit unless its youre own money.. Simple human nature
It won't. We're entering another gilded area, but with complex corporate hierarchies, foamy latte habits driving commodities, and intellectual properties replacing steam and colonialism.
The bottom 90% of the population is, in a very literal sense, unable to comprehend that their beliefs are founded upon propaganda.

>implying all of Africa's problems aren't derived from corrupt warring factions within the governments
When will intellectuals stop applying first world ideas to third world shitholes?
