So the Phrase "Poor Africa" galls Dambisa Moyo. She who for a decade sashayed around the corridors of Goldman Sachs, a place of speculation and the point can be accurately made has played and plays a serious role in the construction of the objective condition "Poor Africa".
Dambisa Moyo, she who is Harvard and Oxford educated, endowment benefactors of ill-gotten gains. When the "White mans Burden" and it's tangential genociction of African Political-Economy established the "Poor Africa" dealectic.
Dambisa Moyo, this living contradiction author of Dead Aid a thesisitc criticism of a certain type of aid to Africa which she opportunistically scapegoat. If the issue is aid and it's dynamic: I respond with didn't the Marshall Plan Aid to Europe enable it's Phoenix like rebirth from it's Third Reich rubble?
The problem with the Dambisa Moyo's of history in their subservient roles is simple. Envy and self-loathe manipulates their critique. Africa's problems are not a result of Bono, Live Aid or even the idealism of Jefferey Sach and all the other Aid's even the AIDS Plague. Africa's problems are strictly that of regaining it's historic dialectic which has been impaired by Arab and European Imperialism, Slavery and the Colonial dialectic.
Frantz Fanon in Wretched of the Earth presciently tackled the question of an African middle-class without a Political-Economic basis.
Instead of 188 pages worth of Goldman Sachs and Harvard-Oxford theology in her Dead Aid book, Dambisa Moyo should have tackled the matrix of Post-Colonial Africa and it's Neo-Colonial narrative.
As A last word, microfinancing as Political-Economy means and the corruption critique typically raised by African Polemicist which Dambisa Moyo regurgitates has nothing to do with why with the exception of Boer organized Azania, the rest of the African Continent suffers the yoke of "sphere of influence" and Dambisa Moyo's book Dead Aid flatlines.
