Dambisa, well done. Too many willingly bank-bash, and claim that they were the entire cause of the crisis, forgetting the government's role in allowing sub-prime mortgages to get out of control.

WOW! Please Dambisa, run for government office in the United States, we need people like you.

@magicmoonbeam2 The ironic thing is, if you actually read some of her economic policy - she probably agrees with you.

She wants to end all aid to Africa, and push free market solutions in those countries.

Damn.

@magicmoonbeam2

So she is more educated than you? And she did get into oxford ... and you can't, sucks huh? This black African is more intelligent than you. Does it sting a little bit?

Care to provide any peer reviewed scientific sources that haven't been thoroughly discredited?

Understand that IQ tests aren't all done on the same scale, and they are becoming more and more discredited as intelligence tests. What is intelligence?

Still though she is smarter than you, and shes black ouch.

@busby3141592 Exactly how many Black Africans got themselves into Oxford last year? They have affirmative action in the states for a reason.

Given that the average IQ in Sub-Saharan Africa is just 70 & the average IQ of African Americans and Black British who have on avg 20% White ancestry is just 85, the likelihood of this Black African being smarter than all of the available White or East Asian Economists is practically zero.

Racial Marxism is insane.

[busby3141592]

@magicmoonbeam2 Perhaps she was brought on because she is a highly educated economist more than capable of expressing views.

Oh and I mean Oxford and Harvard educated - I suspect a little bit more than you.

[magicmoonbeam2]

Of course the cultural marxist at the BBC had to wheel on an African to lecture us about sound economic policy.

Is there is somthing about placing aliens in positions of authority over the indigenous people of this land that gives the population replacement enthusiasts at the BBC a perverse sense of satistaction.

Bravo! Starkey and Dambisa have it spot on! Real free market and capitalism is about the freedom to make money and the freedom to fail and loose if you get it wrong. Government should not be dictating and should not be bailing out failed enterprises.

David Starkey is such a theatrical man!

I'm quite happy to bash footballers as overpaid and ultimately worthless to society, just like an awful lot of bankers.

@nokiwe7 Oy, bitch-boy. If you have nothing worthwhile to say, stfu.
