Quotes by Magatte Wade (?)

“At this point I have no patience whatsoever with people who claim they want to help Africans or Black people but who are “anti-capitalists.”

“Capitalism is the best thing that ever happened to feminism. Women can escape poverty—and bad husbands too.”
― Magatte Wade, The Heart of A Cheetah: How We Have Been Lied to about African Poverty, and What That Means for Human Flourishing

“Anti-capitalist intellectuals, both in Africa and abroad, endlessly repeat a victimhood narrative about Africa being poor due to slavery, colonialism, and ongoing exploitation. Yes, Africa has been victimized. But until and unless these same intellectual forces articulate and endorse the positive capitalist path forward—which will let us leave that past behind—they are part of the problem, not part of the solution. They are the bad guys.”
― Magatte Wade, The Heart of A Cheetah: How We Have Been Lied to about African Poverty, and What That Means for Human Flourishing
