Strong take from Erik Prince here but slightly off
Colonialism isn't the solution - *imperialism* is
Colonialism reached the ultimate form in the aid-ocracy of the 20th / 21st centuries
Imperialism is just extracting benefits from the foreign possessions which actually aligns incentives correctly (you can extract more from a more productive possession)
The problem isn't that the African bureaucrats line their pockets - the problem is that they're lining their pockets *with aid money* - how do you increase the supply of aid money? By being more pathetic
How do imperial administrators line their pockets? With skim from the proceeds of foreign trade. How do you increase the supply of that? By making the place more productive
