Whatever comes next in Strait of Hormuz, a profound shock will continue to play out across scores of poor and mid-income countries recently accustomed to upward mobility. A reversal of fortune is underway as food, fuel and fertilizer prices are lifted by scarcity and disruption.

One thing that now even the most hopeful have to admit, is that the unctuous European tactic of flattering, praising, massaging Trump has been a catastrophic failure and made things worse.

Something to keep in mind amid continued attention to Trump claims on “white genocide” in South Africa. It’s precisely because Mandela opted not to pursue major land transfers — concerned he not upset international investors needed to finance development — that South Africa today remains so unequal.
