I know this isn't really fair, maybe even a little racist, but I think of pretty much all African countries as being pervasively destitute -- it was honestly a surprise to me that there are enough monied people there to support regular malls.
I realize this is an enormous(ly ignorant) question, but I was wondering if you could explain more about the economic crisis? Is it just an extension of the recent global recession, or is it more protracted? Like I said I'd just figured these countries and everyone in them had been poor forever. Thanks so much for doing this AMA!
