Isi artikel

Zambia's copper belt is in a jubilant mood. Mining output and prices reached an all-time high last year, as did local sales of bar drinks and luxury cars. Foreign companies--the only ones with enough capital and expertise to do the digging--are ramping up production. Meanwhile the government has increased mining levies. The extra money will be used to build much-needed roads, hospitals and power stations. In countries as distant as Ghana and South Africa populist politicians have declared open season on foreign miners' profits. In some cases the companies have more or less graciously accepted higher taxes. Elsewhere they are infuriated by the threat of expropriation.
