"It's time we had Chinese and Indians in our Ministries to serve as economic advisors...relying on our traditional advisors from the West (IMF and World Bank), whose policies have brought us where we have reached, will not help us" - A Professor from the Economic Research Bureau (ERB) at the University of Dar-es-Salaam (UDSM) as interviewed and quoted in The Sunday Citizen (20 September 2009) advising Tanzania to 'take a leaf from the books of the Asian counterparts on how to manage modern economies."

Wangekuwa wanaweza wangekuwa washatoa ushauri tokea zama za kale na matunda ya ushauri wao yangekuwa yanaonekana. Kwa hiyo kwa kifupi ni kwamba hawawezi na kama wakijaribu kutoa ushauri basi ushauri huo ni pumba na hauna manufaa yoyote yale.
 
siyo kwamba hata wakitoa ushauri hauwezi kuzingatiwa na wanasiasa wa kibongo?
 
Wanasiasa wa bongo na wachumi wa bongo hawana tofauti! Ni watu wa longolongo nyingi na kuiga iga hovyo hovyo! Wachumi wa bongo hawana originality ya mawazo.
 
Hahaha...wacha Lipumba akusikie kwanza!!

Sababu iko wazi: Wazungu lazima wadai kuweka Wataalam wao wa Uchumi sababu wao ndiyo wanaipiga jeki bajeti ya serikali kwa asilimia zaidi ya 40 kila mwaka tokea serikali ilipokubali misaada na ushauri wa IMF, World Bank, EU, nk.

Hawa wasomi wote wanategemea pesa hizohizo za misaada kuendeleza shughuli zao.

Wachina na Wahindi hawako Tanzania kutoa misaada, bali kufanya biashara na kuchota pesa na maliasili ya Tanzania kadiri ya uwezo wao.
 
Umaskini wa akili ni mbaya kuliko ufukara wa mali; Tanzania tuna vyote- ufukara wa mali na umaskini wa akili.

A collection of his several works and essays are included in the book published in his memory, Third World Options: Power, security and hope for another development ( Tanzania Publishing House, 1992).
 

Ndiyo! Hata huyu naye amejaa pumba na longolongo tu! Hata hayo maandiko yake yamejaa pumba za yeye kutaka kupewa promotions hapo UDSM (wakati ule akiwa pale).

Hawana lolote hawa wachumi wa Afrika. Wangekuwa wanajua walifanyalo basi kwa hakika Afrika ingekuwa iko katika hali nyingine kabisa tofauti na ilivyo sasa.
 

Yeah, huyu intellectually namkubali lakini ili kuendelea kama majuu mnahitaji at least watu 500 wenye caliber kama yake. Tatizo Mungu hakuwa fair katika ku distribute vipaji vya namna hii. Aliwapendelea sana Wazungu

Wewe angalia hata huko alikosomea...kasomea kwenye shule za Wazungu...Lol
 

Kumbuka Nabii hakubaliwi kwao. Au umesahau yaliyomsibu Galileo Galilei baada ya uvumbuzi wake kule kwenye Mnara wa Pisa. Wewe mwenyewe si umewakimbia Wanyantuzu wenzako uliotaka kuwaendeleza. Ila mbona vichwa kama hivi vya Afrika vinatumiwa huko majuu kufanya mambo makubwa:

Tanzania tatizo si mawazo watu wengi wanajua China na nchi nyingine zimefanya vipi lakini Tatizo ni ufanisi. China hawana gold wala mafuta lakini mbona wanaendelea kwa kasi kubwa. Kitu kikubwa na elimu!, Elimu siyo lazima iwe ya vyuo vikuu lakini wananchi wanahitaji elimu ili waweze kufanya kazi na kufundishikika. Hapa marekani watu wenye degree si wengi less than 30% lakini kuna community college nyingi sana na hizi ni za kufundisha watu kufanya kazi mbali mbali. Hatuna haja ya kuiga nchi yeyote ni kufanya kazi kwa bidii, punguza rushwa na elimu na biashara itatatua matatizo mengine
 

Hao 1 ya 10 ya wenye talanta tunayo. Tatizo ni kuwa hatujawatambua. Na hatuwamii ipasavyo. Kwa mfano kuna huyu hapa tumemtuliza tuli pale Mzumbe:

Heheheheee...hata ukikesha wikipedia hutanishawishi! Huku majuu siyo kwamba bila huyu Mkandawire wako basi mambo yataenda mrama. Hell no. Majuu wana wataalam wao wenyewe wa kutosha. Sana sana wanachofanya ni kuwapa fadhila tu hawa so called wataalam wa Afrika kwa kuwapa ajira za maana. Nina uhakika kabisa hawa so called wataalam wakifungasha virago na kurudi kwao Afrika majuu hakutaathirika hata kidogo.
 

Mbona unaongea kana kwamba hujui kuwa walicho nacho huko majuu ni mkusanyiko wa siku nyingi (cumulative effect) wa wataalam na utaalam ambao sisi 'miafrika ndivyo tulivyo' tumechangia kwa kiasi kikubwa toka enzi za utumwa, ukoloni na ufisadi wa maarifa yetu kwenye vyuo vyetu vya kale kama Timbuktu na Alexandria. Majuu imetegemea sana watu wenye asili ya Afrika kwa miaka mingi sana. Huyu, je, unamjua - aliwasaidia sana kutengeneza Modeli za Uchumi mpaka wakampa U-Sir:

Arthur Lewis (economist)
Sir William Arthur Lewis (January 23, 1915 – June 15, 1991) was a Saint Lucian economist well known for his contributions in the field of economic development. In 1979 he won the Nobel Prize in Economics, becoming the first black person to win a Nobel Prize in a category other than peace.

-----------------------

The Concise Encylopaedia of Econmics
W. Arthur Lewis (1915 -1991)

In 1979, British citizen W. Arthur Lewis was awarded the Nobel Prize, along with theodore schultz, for “pioneering research into economic development ... with particular consideration of the problems of developing countries.” One of Lewis’s major contributions to economics is a 1954 article that discusses his concept of a “dual economy” in a poor country.

According to Lewis a poor country’s economy can be thought of as containing two sectors, a small “capitalist” sector and a very large “traditional” (agricultural) sector. Employers in the capitalist sector hire people to make money. Employers in the traditional sector, on the other hand, are not profit maximizing and, therefore, hire too many people so that their productivity is very low. (The immediate question, of course, is why employers in the traditional sector would do this, and economists still debate Lewis’s reasons for thinking this.) Lewis argued on this basis that the way to spur development in poor countries is to shift labor into manufacturing, where it is more productive. The capitalists save out of their profits and use this saving to expand, which then adds to growth. Lewis assumed that workers in agriculture save nothing, so that the only source of saving is the capitalists in manufacturing.

Lewis used his model to explain the pattern of growth in countries in general. This is how he explained the inverted-U-shaped growth according to a country’s per capita income. For very poor countries like Bangladesh, growth is slow because the manufacturing sector is small or nonexistent, and there is no large source of savings. For middle-income countries like Korea and Taiwan, growth is high because the manufacturing sector is growing and pulling labor out of agriculture, where it is underemployed. For high-income countries with a large manufacturing sector, like the United States, growth is slower because the gains from diverting labor out of agriculture are almost all exploited.

In the same 1954 article Lewis made a separate argument for poor countries engaged in trade, maintaining that poor countries would capture little or no benefit from increasing their exports. Instead, he claimed, they would confer benefits on consumers in the countries that import their exports. Take his example in which the richer countries produce steel (shorthand for manufactured goods) and food, and the poorer countries produce coffee (shorthand for exports of poor countries) and food. Assume that before exports are increased, ten pounds of coffee trade for one ton of steel. Now, because producers in the poor countries have a low opportunity cost of increasing exports of coffee (because the food that they could have produced is worth little), they will increase exports. But doing so will drive down the price of coffee. Say the exchange rate falls to twenty pounds of coffee per ton of steel. This is a good deal for coffee buyers, but not for coffee producers. In essence, Lewis was arguing that poorer countries had latent monopoly power in their exports that they were failing to exploit. These countries would do better, he argued, to divert their production into food and away from exports.

Lewis himself came from a poor British colony, Saint Lucia in the West Indies. He entered the London School of Economics on a scholarship at age eighteen. “I wanted to be an engineer,” Lewis later said, “but neither the colonial government nor the sugar plantations would hire a black engineer.” So he decided to study economics. He earned his Ph.D. from the London School of Economics in 1940. He began working on problems of the world economy at the suggestion of friedrich hayek, then chairman of the LSE’s economics department. After World War II, when many former colonies became independent, Lewis began his study of economic development. Lewis had no sympathy for the view that poor countries should be run by dictators so that they could develop.

Lewis was a lecturer at the University of London from 1938 to 1948, then Stanley Jevons Professor of Political Economy at the University of Manchester from 1948 to 1958. He was vice chancellor of the University of West Indies from 1959 to 1963 and a professor of political economy at Princeton University from 1963 until his death.

Companero,

Hivi kumfundisha Machinga jinsi ya kufanya biashara yake kwa ufanisi kunahitaji lecture kutoka ka Dr. Achimwene, phd, phd, PPHHDD ili kujua kuwa si lazima anunue kutoka kwa wholesaler gunia zima badala ya robo gunia ili kufidia alichopungukiwa?

Sisi tungeweza kujenga uchumi wetu kwa kutumia very simple principles za kumfanya mtu aelewe maana ya uzalishaji, kuwa na matumizi endelevu na mazuri na kisha namna ya kujijengea akiba.

Iwe ni mkulima, mvuvi, mfua chuma, machinga, kinyozi, msusi, mwendesha mkokoteni, muuza nyanya, taarishi na karani.

Tatizo letu ni kujaribu kufanya kila kitu kwa kutumia complex methods ambazo ni way to advance kwa uchumi primitive na uzalishaji primitive ulio mikononi mwa watu ambao bado hawajafumbuka kielimu na kuelimika, hawaelewi mfumo na mtiririko wa kibiashara na kila siku wanaficha pesa kwenye chungu na godoro.

Then the "No, we can't" take over na ma-economist wote wanaanza kuwa na self doubts huku vyuoni wakifundisha Keynesian na Adama Smith, lakini ni vitu ambavyo havi-make sense kwa wanafunzi wao ambao wanakuwa mabingwa wa hisabati na maandishi na si vitendea kazi.

Mfano, ningekuwa lecturer pale Chuo, moja ya assignment ya wanafunzi wangu wa Uchumi ingekuwa ni kutafuta kijiji au jumuia ndogo na kuiundia mfumo mzuri wa uzalishaji mali, ytangu siku ya kwanza wanapoingia Darasani mwangu na hiyo challenge ingekuwa ni 40% ya mtihani wao wa mwisho, ikiwa watanionyesha si kwa maandishi tuu na nadharia, bali kwa vitendo kwa mimi na jopo la Waalimu na Wataalamu kutembelea hizo project kuona ni jinsi gani zimefanikiwa!

Ningelundika chapters za kusoma na kudemand practical si maofisini bali kule vijijini, mashambani, masokoni, hata kwenye shule za msingi na magereza.

Then you will have a cream of Economist who are not just bright through craming passages of Ndulu or Rweyemamu, but through succesful simple productivity economical models that they have enginereed from scratch!
