The Industrialization Master Plan

Angola exports oil and is poor. DRC has cobalt, coltan, gold, cassiterite, tungsten — and 63.9% of its people live below $2.15/day. Nigeria has oil and gas — and 40.1% of its people are in multidimensional poverty. The pattern is identical across all 55 provinces: extract, export raw, receive a fraction of value, stay poor. The AR industrialisation strategy reverses every step of this equation.
