摘要

就在几年前，人们还在排队投资非洲。就在最近的2012年，赞比亚借入美元的成本还低于西班牙。致力于非洲的私募股权基金筹集了创纪录的资金，用于投资购物中心和生产从尿布到果汁等各种产品的公司。商人们对向快速增长的非洲中产阶级销售的前景垂涎三尺，根据一项衡量，非洲中产阶级的人数达到3.5亿。矿业公司在非洲土地上投入了数十亿美元，以满足中国对矿产的需求。

Making Africa Work

Only a few years ago people were queuing up to invest in Africa. As recently as 2012 Zambia paid less than Spain to borrow dollars. Private-equity funds dedicated to Africa raised record sums to invest in shopping malls and firms making everything from nappies to fruit juice. Businessfolk salivated at the prospect of selling to the fast-growing African middle class, which by one measure numbered 350m people. Miners sank billions into African soil to feed China’s appetite for minerals.
