DESCRIPTION
The trade in oil, gas, gems, metals and rare earth minerals wreaks havoc in Africa. During the years when Brazil, India, China and the other
emerging markets have transformed their economies, Africa's resource states remained tethered to the bottom of the industrial supply chain.
While Africa accounts for about 30 per cent of the world's reserves of hydrocarbons and minerals and 14 per cent of the world's population, its
share of global manufacturing stood in 2011 exactly where it stood in 2000: at 1 percent. In his first book, The Looting Machine, Tom Burgis
exposes the truth about the African development miracle: for the resource states, it's a mirage. The oil, copper, diamonds, gold and coltan
deposits attract a global network of traders, bankers, corporate extractors and investors who combine with venal political cabals to loot the states'
value. And the vagaries of resource-dependent economies could pitch Africa's new middle class back into destitution just as quickly as they
climbed out of it. The ground beneath their feet is as precarious as a Congolese mine shaft their prosperity could spill away like crude from a
busted pipeline. This catastrophic social disintegration is not merely a continuation of Africa's past as a colonial victim. The looting now is
accelerating as never before. As global demand for Africa's resources rises, a handful of Africans are becoming legitimately rich but the vast
majority, like the continent as a whole, is being fleeced. Outsiders tend to think of Africa as a great drain of philanthropy. But look more closely at
the resource industry and the relationship between Africa and the rest of the world looks rather different. In 2010, fuel and mineral exports from
Africa were worth 333 billion, more than seven times the value of the aid that went in the opposite direction. But who received the money? For
every Frenchwoman who dies in childbirth, 100 die in Niger alone, the former French colony whose uranium fuels France's nuclear reactors. In
petro-states like Angola three-quarters of government revenue comes from oil. The government is not funded by the people, and as result it is
not beholden to them. A score of African countries whose economies depend on resources are rentier states their people are largely serfs. The
resource curse is not merely some unfortunate economic phenomenon, the product of an intangible force. What is happening in Africa's resource
states is systematic looting. Like its victims, its beneficiaries have names.
