My next book “Africa I love you”

Excerpts: Africa, China, and the Birth of Capitalism Africa has long been a land rich in resources, culture, and history. But its legacy has also been marred by exploitation and subjugation, largely driven by the forces of capitalism that were born in Europe during the rise of global trade. To understand the intricate relationship between Africa and China today, it is crucial to first delve into the birth of capitalism, its entanglement with slavery, and how these forces contributed to the carving up of Africa. The Birth of Capitalism: Rooted in Exploitation The rise of capitalism can be traced back to the 16th and 17th centuries, when European nations began establishing vast trade networks. The development of capitalism was rooted in the pursuit of profit, wealth accumulation, and economic expansion. This system emerged as Europe sought to dominate global trade, using the exploitation of labor, resources, and land as its primary tools. During the early stages of capitalism, European nations competed fiercely to control markets, raw materials, and labor. One of the darkest aspects of this competition was the Transatlantic Slave Trade, which provided the free labor that fueled the economies of many European nations. Africa was drawn into this web of exploitation, as millions of its people were captured and transported across the ocean to serve as slaves in the Americas and the Caribbean.
