| Abstract: | You see them everywhere in Africa: the sharp-eyed entrepreneurs hawking anything from matches to sports cars. Many see them as a nuisance but TOM NEVIN argues that they are anything but. Without the black marketeers Africa's economy would simply size up, he says. These days, in any African country, you may cut a deal in the "alternative economy", or you may do business in "deregulated trading", or you may buy or sell something in the "informal sector". |
