The state-owned automaker BL PLC* (once known as British Leyland) lost more than $3 billion between 1978 and 1982 and has slurped up $4.6 billion of government handouts since 1975.

Such essential government services as education, health care and transportation are in disarray. African countries are so riddled by foreign debt, estimated at a total of $100 billion annually, that they are rescheduling loans by arguing that they are near bankruptcy. In the meantime, sub-Saharan Africa's population of 210 million in 1960 has grown to 393 million. It continues to increase by 2.9% annually, the fastest growth rate in the world...
