How come there aren't any countries in africa that are equally developed as a western european country? Despite the fact that the continent is suppose to be rich on resources.

Infact the GDP per capital of south africa, is less than that of serbia.

Europe was the first place to develop market economies and modern capitalism. Economic success spread from there through contact and trade. That's how Scandinavia became modern despite being completely irrelevant and Africa tier until very recently, thanks to all the work done by Anglos, Latins etc

Because it's a nice climate with lots of resources, there's no need to build a civilization. You can sit on your ass under a tree and do just fine, hence why niggers evolved the way they did, lack of environmental pressures. You're brain will only evolve to the point it needs to, that's how natural selection works guys.

What evolutionary pressure drove Swedes to thirst for bbc

Having resources is usually a course for economic development, not a boon. The resource room Latin American countries are the poorer ones, as an example.

Resources provide a constant source of revenue for the government without having to actually develop solid institutions.

Postmodernism

I'll just leave this here. Dwell on it.

Botswana is quite nice despite having a high aids rate

Because African time, man.

literally this.

Maybe because western europe has a lot more history, why are you comparing it to Europe anyway.

GDP and GNP are figures that inaccurately represent the wealth of a country.

For example, a country could take on massive debt from the IMF in order to build insane amounts of infrastructure, while destroying the environment in the process. The profits of those infrastructures could go to outsiders or multinational corporations and the country would still count it in the GNP and GDP.

Always heard about how undeveloped countries in africa are. But also that africa is suppose to have the most gold ,diamonds and other valuable resources. If there is so much resources in africa, then countries there should not have a problem to modernize and develope themselves to be equally good or better than the ones in europe.

>is less than that of serbia
oh fuck, how come we've fallen so far back when we get compared economically almost to fucking Africa

Rhodesia was a country for the equivalent of 5 minutes and was going to be that exact civilized, modern, prosperous nation. The problem is the people who live there.

Jews split the country up with a civil war so they could take all your riches.

yup, but they didn't bother too much since we can't wait to kill each other here. There's a war every 40 years for the last millenium

Only a tiny bit better than south africa.

Does that mean Africa was any wealthier under colonial rule conpared to before? Because their GDP didn't increase by a significant amount unless I'm mistaking.

ITT: nobody knows shit about any basic and introductory macroeconomics or history. The ultimate proof Sup Forums is utterly retarded beyond any belief.

Botswana actually has its shit pretty well together, for an african nation.

Enlighten us then.
