‘Patient’ Capital for an Africa That Can’t Wait

By THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN

OP-ED COLUMNIST

Published: April 20, 2007 New York Times

As we got closer, I discovered that it was Karatu's huge clothing market. Merchants had laid out blankets piled with multicolored shirts, pants and dresses, much of it used

clothing from Europe, and were hawking their goods.
