No gold shipped out of Ghana. No platinum exported from South Africa. What happens next? Here's the upside. Instead of exporting raw materials cheap and importing finished products expensive, Africa builds the factories, the refineries, the battery plants, the tech supply chains, millions of jobs, stronger currencies, more industrial Now, here's the downside.
