I thought once that capital had a different denominational for money , the wealth accumulated a country or its people. Of course , I thought that the wealth was determined by the money or the assets accumulated .

I have been struck by for Africa . The potential for progress and fight against the poverty relies on capital generated by the power in our minds , not on our ability to extract the minerals from the soil or request a reduction of the debt and using foreign .
If ideas are capital, why Africa is investing more in the things that in the information , and in the arms than in education ? Suddenly , I realized that that this idea could mean for Africa . If the pen is more powerful than the sword , why a General earns more than a hundred writers together ? If the ideas are in fact the capital of Africa should then stop the leak of his brain and promote the revival African . After all, a revival is primarily that of ideas . And knowledge and ideas are the engines that stimulate the growth economy .
