If this contradiction is not handled well before the next economic cycle arrives, economic indigestion will have a huge impact on East African society and greatly weaken the vitality and potential for economic development.
With Ernst's words, this also means that at the current stage, East Africa's economic development will shift back from liberalism to conservatism.
Why "back"? Because in the past, East Africa's economy itself was long in a "conservative" state, but this conservative state was a process of continual relaxation over time.
For example, in the last century, East Africa's economy could be described as completely closed, not only rejecting investment from other countries but also rarely engaging with other countries, especially developed countries like those in Europe and America.
