One of Financial Times’ Books of the Year, 2015

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.

Description

The Looting Machine by Tom Burgis — Warlords, Tycoons, Smugglers and the Systematic Theft of Africa’s Wealth

Africa is the world’s richest continent by natural resources — so why do so many of its people remain poor? Award-winning Financial Times journalist Tom Burgis answers that question with meticulous, on-the-ground reporting that is as gripping as it is devastating. He exposes the vast criminal and political networks — warlords, multinational corporations, corrupt officials, and shadowy middlemen — that systematically drain Africa’s oil, minerals, and resources, leaving ordinary citizens with almost nothing.

Praised as excellent by Jon Snow and eye-popping by Misha Glenny, this is investigative journalism at its most powerful — a book that will permanently change the way you see Africa’s relationship with the rest of the world.

Essential reading for anyone serious about understanding Africa’s development challenges, economic justice, and the real story behind the continent’s struggles.
