A) One country that lost access to the means of production was Zimbabwe. The means of production lost in this country were the land and ultimately the raw materials that were produced. Zimbabwe once exported food, but now needs massive food aid because of what happened during the president's rule. Zimbabwe was once seen as the breadbasket of Africa. It was rich in raw materials and industrious agricultural land. Zimbabwe would grow all the food their people needed and have leftovers that they would then export. Agriculture was the mainstay of its economy. The agricultural sector employed thousands of workers. In addition to having a strong agricultural sector, Zimbabwe also had a fine manufacturing base and a strong banking division. People had great confidence in the justice system and the crime rate was low. The country had a secure rule of law that allowed owners to use their land to develop and build new businesses or even expand old ones. Because of all the security and confidence in the country, all this has led to strong GDP growth.

There were huge differences in agricultural regions after he began distributing land among individuals in the country. In some areas of the country there were well-kept commercial farms producing thousands of acres of cash crops, while other farms were crowded and very small. Most commercial farms were owned by 4,500 white families and, in contrast, about 840,000 black farmers were barely...... half the paper......and imports from South Africa, but even that country produces less than normal .Works Cited Clemens, Michael and Todd Moss.
