Martha Njolomole's story is quite amazing. John Hinderaker at Powerline blog introduces her to us:
Martha Njolomole was born in Malawi, one of the poorest nations in Africa, and a country where pretty much all economic activity is controlled by the government. She grew up in a household that had neither running water nor electricity. Nor did her family own any books. Through a combination of talent and extraordinary diligence, Martha won a scholarship to study in the United States. She was stunned by what she found here.Today Martha is an accomplished economist and author of several important papers. She tells her story in this Prager U video: Hinderaker adds this,
Martha has come a long way from the days when she carried water in buckets on her head, and scrounged for thrown-away scraps of newspaper on which she could practice reading. That distance is, really, the distance between socialism and free enterprise. No one is better qualified than Martha to explain that to America’s young people.It'd be helpful if people like Martha Njolomole didn't have to do the job that America's college professors are being paid to do.
