Cui bono? I suspect they're not so dumb as they are corrupt. Wonder who got first dibs on those cars at the dealerships.

Just how many African stereotypes can this guy personally confirm for us?

I think I read an article in the Economist about the incredible performance of the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange earlier this year. I can't find it but I found this instead. Plus, it has something w/ Austrian economics thrown in which I don't know a thing about but sure seems to be a favorite on this forum.

However, it appears that Mugabe's latest 'interesting' initiative has caused something of a reversal.

I wonder what's going on in Mozambique? That is where many of the white farmers fled when the land reforms started a few years back. Does anybody know?

This is very, very bad. Probably the worst thing that anyone could do for a fragile economy.
