5.0
Why Africa Is Poor presents the case of Africa's poverty as simple, and manages to explain it as such. The book is well-written, excellently argued and logically sound.
At the beginning of many sections, Mills will begin with an anecdote of how he struggled to cross over the border of an African country due to its corruption, incompetence or lack of infrastructure. This become a core part of his argument. Africa is poor because it restricts the movement of goods and people. If Africa wants to become successful, it needs to truly liberalise and embrace a Libertarian economic system.
