Could Africa one day rival China?

A Economist video on one of the most fascinating aspects of the global economy: whether or not Africa can growth, and, to some extent, rival China.

If this seems like a preposterous claim, then you might want to watch this clip, which looks at how Ethiopia has made remarkable strides in the past forty years, from the place which saw the launch of Live Aid to Africa's economic powerhouse. It is worth a watch - after all it is not as if you're going out.
