- Envy, which causes a lot of destruction;
- Corruption, which undermines systems;
- Colonialism, which has either created or accentuated a culture where individuals are discouraged from taking decisions, which causes stagnation and delay;
- Self-interest (of some donors), who are only just beginning to co-ordinate their efforts, rarely stay for more than a few years and frequently make aid conditional on the introduction of systems and ideologies that don't fit here, which wastes a lot of energy and resources;
- Greed (of some in power), which the greedy part of me understands, but which causes some shocking inefficiencies and inequalities;
- Hypocrisy, which means that notions of 'international free trade' are just a joke and it is a constant up-hill struggle for Malawi to sell things and prosper.
