Recommendation
Africa pours out a wealth of raw materials – bauxite, iron, copper – as well as fossil fuels, uranium, gold and diamonds. Despite this natural wealth, desperate poverty besets many of its resource-rich countries. Tom Burgis, a veteran investigative journalist, shines a light on the “shadow states,” criminal networks and unscrupulous corporate entities that impoverish the continent while extracting vast profits. For readers seeking to understand the underlying causes of Africa’s suffering – and who benefits from that suffering – this unflinching account answers these questions with outrage and compassion.
