This book examines how colonial land laws still inhibit growth and cultural destiny in underdeveloped societies like Africa, despite the claims of independence; just as snake venom keeps killing its victim even when the snake has gone. It urges Africans and people of other underdeveloped societies to identify, reconnect, establish private property rights and invest in their communities and states for true nation-building, prosperity and participation in the infinite contest for universal progress. The book also urges people of the developed societies, mainly the West, to use this cultural destiny to protect their core ideals of human liberty, equality and pursuit of happiness from the totalitarian traps hiding behind the extremes of both capitalist and Marxist ideologies.
