Whoa, comrade. Kind words for relatively profficient technical control of capital flows, yes, and also an acknowledgement of the two kinds of populist-nationalisms (white proto-fascism and black guerillaism) that were amplified by an early 1960s financial crisis. But it's a bit unfair to extrapolate (if you want the naunce, there's a chapter on "The Rise and Fall of the Unilateral Declaration of Independence Economy" in my PhD, Uneven Zimbabwe: A Study of Finance, Development and Underdevelopment, Africa World Press, 1998; I'll bring you a copy, Doug, when we have a beer on 13 January). (Hey, I'm not being shy on lbo-talk until then, just up in the Zimbabwe mountains hunting in the AM, fishing in the PM and doing art criticism after that.)
