Beware the resource curse
from Die ekonomie minuut · host Waldo Krugell
On Friday I said a few things about the optimism surrounding the growth prospects of a number of African economies. Part of that has to do with the fact that countries like Kenya, Ivory Coast and Benin are now getting access to international capital markets again. The other part of the story is minerals, but economists know that good natural resources can be a blessing and a curse. This episode is supported by the NWU Business School.
