Actually, here they acknowledge that weak and ineffective government is the thing holding those countries back economically. Of course, the reason for this is (neo)colonialism (murdering anyone who even hints at nationalisation of resources).

It’s funny how capitalists say one thing, but when their money is on the line they know exactly how economics actually work.

Even without there being an obvious explanation that analysis is so empty “why are they poor” “they lack properties of a wealthy economy” like fucking duh. How do you plan on instituting all this state infrastructure in a resource starved country?

No issue, I’m just getting too stupid to consider English my primary language at this point given how bad my reading comprehension is lately.

“Doctor, why do I have a cold?”

“You have a cold because your nose is runny, you have a sore throat, and you’re coughing”

Also,
Africa isn’t poor because it’s underdeveloped, it’s poor because it’s over exploited

Start here -> “The just don’t have ☆good Institutions☆”
“Why is that?”

End here -> “The African brain pan is blah blah blah”
