english: For those of us from outside of Africa, we're familiar with parts of this story: a massive spike in inequality, the product of a decline in good jobs for good wages that were once considered the hallmark of an advanced society; the capture of our political parties by elites accompanied by the hollowing out of civil society that once provided a voice to ordinary people; that sinking feeling that no matter what you do, external factors related to the global economy can disrupt our lives for the worse.
non_english: Mi, ki nismo v Afriki, smo seznanjeni z deli te zgodbe: ogromen porast neenakosti, zaradi upada dobrih delovnih mest za dobre plače, kar je nekoč veljalo za znak napredne družbe; elite so zasegle naše politične stranke, kar spremlja votljenje civilne družbe, ki je nekoč dajala glas navadnim ljudem; ta obupni občutek, da ne glede na to, kaj počnete, lahko zunanji dejavniki, povezani s svetovnim gospodarstvom, pokvarijo naše življenje na slabše.
