A lot of people are saying “corruption”.sorry,that’s not an explanation that’s an observation.There is a why there is a lot of corruption in Africa and it has everything to do with western foreign aid and economic interventionism in various states of Africa.

Before mentioning the two causes lets dispel the myth that it was due to colonialism.There have been about 40years since the vast majority of Africa was decolonized.To compare,40years after the liberation of the United States as colonies they were a serious world economic power and growing at a REAL GDP rate of 5%-6% per year.

The majority of African countries have done no such thing 40years after the end of their colonization so clearly there is a different reason for the poverty other than colonization.
One clear difference between the former independence movement of the Americas and Africa is that Africa receives a mountain of foreign “aid” every year.

FOREIGN AID: So what is it?
It is a transfer of wealth between two GOVERNMENT,debased entirely from economic growth and good government.Obviously this provides a slew of perverse incentives.Think of it,if I give you a business but regardless of your performance you will always make 5billion dollars,what incentive do you have to make your business ethical,efficient and transparent? You don’t! Infact, you will probably plunder the business for even more money because success is detached from good management.
“You see,a well managed state knows that in order to be successful parasites they must suck a minimal amount of blood out of the economy(in the form of taxes)so as not to seriously stifle economic growth”. In this way the economy will expand and with it,more potential blood to suck. If,however,the parasite has an unlimited food source without having to depend on the victim’s health,they will suck so much blood out of the victim that the victim dies.

Foreign aid is the unlimited food source to most African states and politicians.They don’t care about their countries’ economic health because they get billions a year anyway from their western friends.All these billions are more than enough to provide them with immense personal riches and a nicely sized army of thugs to suppress local revolts.
So is it any surprise that most governments in Africa plunder their own economics through heavy taxes,regulation,and inflationary monetary policy?
In a world without financial aid they would have to be very careful to keep taxes low and let people and businesses flourish because, of course, if they ruin the economy,they also ruin the extortion(tax)inflows and therefore,their personal wealth and military power.

“But in our perverse diplomatic world of foreign aid,government are actually incentivized to keep their countries poor! In this way they can justify the continued foreign aid!

Guys.
Please bear with me.
I haven't been very active on this thread for a couple of reasons:

• The BPIP extension isn't working anymore on my setup. This prevents me from immediately recognising banned users. Of course, I don't want to send merits to them. Waiting for a fix.
• Something not funny happened, so I decided to slow down: First Time I have been annoyed here on the forum

So, bear with me.

Rules are to be remembered:

What you don't get applying to get a post merited:

• The timely assessment of the quality of your merit submission.
