Mind the gap, in income

Nice moving graph to illustrate the increasing poverty of Africa. The field of Development Economics has been trying to explain the increasing gap for a while. My favorite hypothesis is that the corrupt African governments (no property rights or rule of law) stifle development.

  1. Having stable income is extremely crucial and we need to develop a lot of skill in order to get that possible. I think we shouldn’t be worried too much about all these stuff; it won’t change anything at all. I am as trader doing fairly well with support of OctaFX broker and their mouth-watering facilities that includes the giant bonus up to 50%, it is highly useful given it is completely trade able, so that is useful with for me.
