When elephants started disappearing from the Middle East some 400,000 years ago, it was a major crisis, and not just for the ancient elephants.

The world economy needs Africa’s economic growth; but it also needs Africa to take a different path than did China. The Asian giant followed the West’s pattern of early industrialization: grow quick and dirty and worry about the consequences later.
