Rob Hersov joins The Winston Marshall Show to discuss decolonisation in Africa, British colonialism, Cecil Rhodes and the political and economic legacy of European rule across the continent. A South African entrepreneur and private investor with an MBA from Harvard Business School, Hersov has founded and chaired Africa-focused investment businesses and worked across finance, media and aviation. He argues that governance and corruption, rather than colonialism, are central to Africa’s modern challenges, while examining education, infrastructure and development in Zimbabwe, Kenya, Rwanda, Ghana and South Africa. The discussion also covers Rhodes’ legacy, racism in colonial Africa, post-colonial leadership and the African countries he believes have the strongest prospects for future investment and growth.

The American Civil War didn't start at Fort Sumter. It started decades earlier — in congressional tariff fights, on Wall Street trading floors, in the vaults of London banks, and across the cotton fields that powered the global economy. Most people learn a simplified version of this story. The truth is far more complex, far more disturbing, and far more relevant to the world we live in today.In this deep dive, we uncover what mainstream history leaves out: how enslaved people became the single most valuable financial asset in the entire United States — worth more than every railroad, factory, and bank combined. How Northern banks and British merchant houses bankrolled the expansion of slavery across the Deep South. How a tax dispute in 1828 nearly triggered secession thirty years before the first shot was fired. How the fight over Western territories was really a fight over which economic system would control the future of the continent. And how Jefferson Davis tried to weaponize cotton to drag Britain into the war.This isn't the version of the Civil War you learned in school. This is the version that follows the money.Sources and references drawn from the National Park Service, the Library of Congress, the American Battlefield Trust, the Bill of Rights Institute, Yale University economic research, Harvard University dissertations on Atlantic finance, and the Essential Civil War Curriculum, among others.#civilwar #americanhistory #whathistoriansgetwrong #slaveryandcapitalism #cottoneconomy #wallstreethistory #kingcotton #antebellumamerica #tariffofabominations #bleedingkansas #lincolnelection #secession #confederateeconomy #economichistory #hiddenhistory #financialhistory #americancivilwar #documentaryhistory #ushistory #powerandmoney
