I am back. In recent days I have been wondering what the core of my identity is. To this end, I believe I am most creating. Not creating in the sense of the great writers such as Shakespeare or our very own Shimmer Chinodya, but in the sense of the entrepreneurial minds that driven capitalism since the early man found barter trade is a means of getting what you need and could not attain. So the focus going forward is to provide an "African" view of what participation in capitalism. I say "African" because there cannot be an African view since we constitute nearly 1 billion views feelings etc. Heck, we cannot constitute a "Zimbabwean" view. That is why this is my view. To the item at hand. I came from Zimbabwe the other day only to be saddened by what I see as the stalled Zimbabwean rebirth. Since 2008 and the height of the Zimbabwe Hyperinflation, I was naive enough to think by removing monetary authority from our government, who had clearly failed...

The new world order

I have been following my favorite team, The Arsenal and it dawned on me, just like everything else you cannot win without the fundamentals.. The game against Manchester United showed that if you don't get the fundamentals of a balanced team right you concede two goals when you have just equalised and looking to take the lead. Today we have seen the fundamentals of a truly competitive squad being ignored and we have subs who come on and give a tepid performance. Now if these players understood that every game is a test, they would never have the word defeat on their mind. Everytime they put on the shirt they should be playing to impress.. too many coasters. The same needs to be said of too many leaders on the African continent when it comes to the governance of their countries. I am no politician but what I have seen in my home of Zimbabwe is enough to make a young economist wonder what their intention is? Do people intentionally want to destroy the place of my youth? Are these...

When rock Bottom has a basement- A call for monetary reform

Welcome to Zimbabwe ! Where we as a people have since 1955 (then we were called Rhodesia) argued verbose arguments based on ideology (race, tribe, economic system etc) that at its core keeps a certain class of people subjugated with another rich and powerful. these arguments often ignore reality on the ground. Often those in power are shook by this reality that often has far-reaching, earth-shattering consequences. We as a nation have seen reality take control every 25 or so years and really shake these dogmatic ideologies. The first was the racist Rhodesian government's ideology of white minority rule, or "Apartheid lite". The government of the day engaged in inward looking state-oriented economy that was built largely to meet the aspirations of the white minority. Our parents and those that came before them only gained value through serving these aspirations as labour (skilled or otherwise). 20 years of sanctions, civil disobedience and finally armed resistance led the ...
