The very same article by Karen Kwiatkowski also brought me here.What Africa needs now more than ever is the absence of corrupt governments and their parasitical policies.Freedom without the State.

An article by Karen Kwiatkowski brought me here. And I completely agree with her, this argument applies equally well to America. Government is taking away from free market efficiency to empower corporatism, the welfare state, and an overseas empire.

Africans can redeem control over their land and resources by accumulating and ministering capital, organize industry catering to under-served [low -income i.e the global majority] markets by way of commercial enterprise in the form of :
Social Enterprise --(Social Programs that are turn into businesses)
Small and Medium Enterprise -- (Businesses that use a franchise model)
Co-operative Corporation -- ( Integrates: credit unions, worker co-op and R&D)
In this way Africans can be self-reliant.
