I can't stop thinking about this because on surface it sounds reasonable, but there's something off about the logic.
So don't offer aid because it will stop capital investment. But there is no capital to invest because people spend their days trying to stay alive rather than obtaining capital.
So the logic is flawed. You want to promote investment in a place with nothing to invest by not investing in that place.
But furthermore, you want to do it in the name of fairness. You want to give Africa the same market opportunity that exists in America. That logic is also flawed, because there is no opportunity in Africa. So you're just letting companies with preexisting status hoarde all the opportunity.
