Magatte Wade is a successful international entrepreneur from Senegal with a passion for free market solutions. She explains why modern statist central planning is the root of Africa's economic problems, and how free markets are the only way to solve these problems. Magatte also explains her ambitious vision for start-up cities in Africa, and how historical African governance institutions are more compatible with a prosperous free African future than imported statist ideas.
