[wanabidii] Nineteenth century Britain and twenty-first century Tanzanian.

In the nineteenth century, Napoleon Bonaparte of France described Britain as "a nation of shopkeepers."  Such characterization might also be applicable to Tanzania today.  In every street-corner of our major cities are people selling all kinds of goods.  Some display these in the middle of the road.  As a matter of fact, you can get to buy many of the things normally found in a supermarket while driving through a traffic jam.

However, there are fundamental differences between nineteenth century Britain and twenty-first century Tanzania.  While the British shop-keeper of the nineteenth century was busy marketing locally-made products; the Tanzania street-trader of the twenty-first century is busy selling foreign goods.
