Africans in Africa do not grow food for the same reason that an African in USA buys a tall beer rather than a six pack. If he bought a six pack every other bro on the curb would grab one. Property rights are not part of primitive cultures. American Indians had no concept of property rights. Hence the term ‘Indian giver’. If an Indian sold you a horse he would come back the next night and steal the horse. An Indian would steal everything in your garden and all your livestock. Hence the motto ‘The only good Indian is a dead Indian’. Thence the problem was cured.
