Literally could listen to him for days

Is there a monologue of him just rattling out history, society and personal hypocrisy that lasts for a couple of hours? Literally more gripping than a movie. I hang on his every word. Thanks for holding up the mirror as you so awesomely do. You provide the rhetoric people need to think for themselves and question the common consensus.

Such an eloquent and thoughtful man

There are many more things you can do from being rich than the tasteless consumerism of living in a mansion and driving a lambo... e.g. travelling the world and investing globally sounds like fucking magic

Akala is very eloquent. He has a tremendous fluency when he talks. Been who he is, makes sense why he doesnt get enough coverage from the media.

great video!

Akala is real 💯 Nuff love

Anyone that knows this guy knows he's one VERY educated individual.. this man will win an argument and come at you with nutting but politics.. big up akala.👊

Could someone explain what that non-western-capiltalist trade model Akala's talking about? ANd what's more important why he think it was less cruel or greedy?

Some people feed our pockets and desires, and others feed our soul. The former is insatiable; the latter breeds contentment. Keep feeding souls, brother.

Akala is a very smart and elliquant individual...but when he refers to trade partnerships from a few hundred years ago, he lacks to mention there were an elite controlling the trade in African and Asian countries where the very very rich at the time got extremely wealthy and the poor wouldn't like beyond 35 due to living standards. I agree countries where there is trade with the rest of the world, like Congo as he mentioned, they do need change...however, they still have a massive void between the people controlling the government's and corporations to mine minerals and metals to put into devices we all use, and the people working in those places. The void is largely supported and controlled from families in those countries who have had a hold on there economies for centuries.

Amazing guy. Very smart.

God damn this guy is so smart.

The love of money is the root of all evil. There's nothing wrong being a multi billionaire as long as you didn't do wickedness to get there.

Akala Is for real

"Talk foolishness" - never that Akala. Listening to you for a few minutes is like the equivalent of reading several books.

Ok Akala, what is your alternative?

"That's the global system we live in" are you mad? Global system we live in is we trade goods and services just like India, China, Africa etc did in ancient times. Only now we fight less and more people have food, water and some education than ever.

Most minerals do not come from the congo, they are a minority producer of everything they produce

Akala and Jordan Peterson should meet...

"Harriet Tubnan wasn't a rich man" -Akala 2k16. 😎

I don't believe capitalism is inherently evil but it's beyond the point of redemption. It's an outdated system from a time so vastly different to ours. Capitalism was originally for the ppl, to help them excel and build nations and businesses but as I've said it's gotten too greedy and capitalists refuse to drop their traditions. It's a system from a time when countries weren't ethnically diverse or diverse in any form.

We should be at those elite school institutions, empowered with knowledge of self like Akala clearly is, I think we would learn a whole lot about them. Problem is, those institutions use a selective process that'll only allow those in that can be controlled.

He's right about colonialism being wrong, but this video has nothing to do with Free Market Capitalism which advocates the free trade which he talked about between the Middle East, Africa and Far East

The richest continent in the world is Africa. Who agrees with me?

Conflict minerals rio tinto to name one in Africa and others robbing India to this day via Tata

He’s an actual legend

Because a socialist society has never failed?

Akala Just saying what a few of us intelligent Black guys from the UK already know. I love this guy!!👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿😁👊🏿

Naming a corporation is important. You are not presenting an argument you are posturing. No one can pick apart an argument about these corporations because that could mean anything. Name a company and I will show you the moral grey area. Woke people aren't woke.

Haha that is why the US spends all their money in military

Only the South had slaves and that slave labour stood for 5% of the South's GDP.

It's 'PlainTAIN' not Plantin,

It tuck ever so slightly over 1 minute for him to bring race into a discussion on the pros and cons of capitalism. Literally a one trick pony.

This guy is in no way an intellectual. He fails, and is, however, still learning, about life, and in general, stuff.

Let's take a moment to feel sorry for those that don't know what plaintain is. Yam is pushing it too far

Listening to someone who knows nothing about capitalism describe it is absurd. The poor in Capitalist USA are richer than the poor in socialist Cuba because of capitalism

He didn't talk about capitalism. Capitalism does benefit poor people more than any other economic ideology, period.
