Abstract
- The article discusses the contribution of European colonialism to the dysfunctional political systems operating in Sub-Saharan Africa. It is stated that the introduction of laissez-faire capitalism and the concepts of sovereignty and law resulted in the subversion of native African economies in favor of colonial settlers. It contradicts the assertion of writer Daniel Krugers that nationalization and big government is responsible for the post-colonial problems of African countries.
