“Africa has NO REASON to be poor”

Thomas Sowell disagrees.

When you look at WHO is running the countries, THAT is why they are poor. If ou had decent people there and running the countries, they’d be very prosperous.

No one can deny the problem with their governance.

However, Dr. Sowell explored the subject at great length, and has some very persuasive arguments that the reasons they did not become prosperous in the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries were...yes, you guessed it, geographical.
