Africa's Economy Rough Draft

The Economic Safari By Mariah Neuhauser

The continent of Africa has been plagued by an economic epidemic. Africa has suffered countless blows to its economy over the past two centuries. The European invasion of Africa contributed to Africa’s economic downfall, without which, a stable economy may exist today. The continent of Africa requires immediate attention to assist in the development of suitable economic infrastructures. In my opinion, if we act wisely, the economic debacle may be reversible.
