Zimbabwe

So Robert Mugabe has found his racist policies of confiscating white owned land in order to force his people to live as subsistance farmers is not working.

Zimbabwe is expected this year to grow less than half of what it needs to feed the population and the rains have denied President Robert Mugabe his standard explanation of poor weather for slumping production.

Strangely it appears that his preference of subsistance agriculture is not more efficient than the specialist agriculture that it replaced, something that even Marx knew, and have transformed Zimbabwe from a major food exporter to a country on the brink of starvation.
