Series 1: (A) Capital Flow in Zambia and Bostwana
Series 1: CAPITAL FLOW IN ZAMBIA AND BOSTWANA
The purpose of this investigation is to empirically investigate the relationship between Foreign Direct Investment and Economic Growth in Bostwana and Zambia with economic growth being seen through an expansion in trade as well as Gross Domestic Product for the respective countries from 1990-2000. The motivation for the investigation of the presence of foreign investments and the relationship they have to economic growth is a result of debates within the field of economics regarding the role that foreign investments play in a economy. Scholars have explored the topic with some focusing on statistical evidence ( 0L’ 1922, Hou 1965) while others provide the theoretical frameworks through which foreign investments have been viewed( Rothgeb 1996).
Love Me Or Hate Me: The Other Side Of Capitalism
This was an article in the economists. It presents a very interesting argument regarding the role of foreign investments in the United States and why at times the United States feels threatened by these investments, which are growing very fast. The interesting thing is to note the paradox of the United States, the epitome of free-market capitalism. Protectionist policies do not lead to anywhere and as a free-market capitalist myself, in the Milton Friedman tradition, i find the United States sporadic championing of capitalism uncourageous!!!

Some Thoughts
Africa has been having problems since the countries on the continent aggressively upheld the belief of self-rule and saw that as a right. However, since then these countries have experienced a lot of problems. Some of these problems will always be there and they will never finish because that is just the nature of developing the countries. However, even though Africa still has a long way to go in terms of development, economic, social, and political, there are areas that can spearhead this development.
