This article and the referenced "study" are breathtaking in its idiocy and ignorance. As long as people continue to believe such disturbingly counterproductive narratives, the poor areas of Africa will remain poor.
That said, some of the fastest growing economies of the world are in Africa. And they didn't get that way by listening to people like this. There is a hope that more areas will follow their lead.
- tankenmate 9y agoI think the article is pointing out that a lot of money leaves Africa via, directly and indirectly, corruption and transfer pricing. Openly stating these facts isn't putting Africa down, it's highlighting a problem that needs to be fixed. OECD nations also suffer from these as well; corruption less so, but they also suffer from transfer pricing, this is why there is the push to reform taxation laws.
