In this clip, Swaziland-born anthropologist @drjasonhickel makes an important distinction between 'Capitalism' and 'Market-Based Economics' - a distinction that has been deliberately obfuscated by Western interests that are served by the constant conflation of these 2 completely separate concepts.
This distinction is particularly important in Africa, where huge amounts of US money from organisations like the Heritage Foundation have poured in to fund ideological subversion efforts specifically intended to confuse Africans into conflating their indigenous market-based systems with capitalism.
This large scale propaganda effort has historically operated through local faces, such as Ghanaian neoliberal economist George Ayittey, Senegalese neoliberal ideologue Magatte Wade, and Beninese-American neoliberal influencer Franck Zanu.
