Interesting article in The Economist proposing a capitalist revolution as the solution African countries must embrace to avoid being the primary home of the world’s poor.

Whether or not capitalism is the sole solution, this quote from the article makes apparent that something clearly needs to change:

African countries are experiencing disruption without development. They are going through social upheavals as people move from farms to cities but without accompanying agricultural or industrial revolutions. Services, where ever more Africans find work, are less productive than in any other region—and barely more productive than in 2010.
