"As recently as 2005, Malawi's leaders had obediently followed the dictates of the free-market gospel spreaders. They cut back their government subsidies, especially for seeds and fertilizer, and watched as harvest after harvest failed.

Besides, why should your silly people bother with being able to feed themselves, when they could be growing cash crops for export!" Phoenix Woman
