Where is this going you ask..? Africa’s ‘reasoning’, is as much an absence of reasonable logic, as it is the incidence of motive emotions. There is no structure as defined by Western mode of logic.., malice for instance, is not a periphery, it is the nucleus. Sound economic reasoning, at each end of the Mediterranean, has the diametric opposite value.

As such then, we need to be very careful, before we brand ‘debt’ the bane of the West – ‘credit’ is an enormously fascinating topic. Eg when- and in fact why do ‘credit’ turn from the knight in shining armour, to the three headed monster..?

There is no obvious answer in the world as we know it now.

To substantiate an answer we need to look a hypothetical society in complete isolation. ‘Credit’ has the potential, to turn a highly advanced society into an incubator of advancement, beyond even the imagination of Nikola Tesla.

We are in the midst of a split of species. Nothing profound – in fact, it is an everyday event, on the evolutionary calendar.
