#HOWWEALTH ARE #OBTAINEDINAFRICA

According to William G. Mosley stated in his book: Slaves became preeminent from of private investment and manifestation of private wealth- a secure form reproducing wealth equivalent to land-owing in Europe. Slaves were used by state official as a dependent and loyal group, both for the production of revenue and for performing administrative and military service in the struggle between kinds of executive who wished to centralize their states and other elite parties who sought to control royal absolution.
  The private employment of slaves as heritable, wealth- producing dependent was perhaps the most striking African use. Dapper. in describing private wealth in Kongo, noted that although the households of the nobility were not wealthy in ready cash, nor did they possess much in the way goods, they were wealthy in slaves. This, he believed, was the main form of wealth in central Africa.
  Likewise, slaves represented the way to achieve wealth for ambitious commoners in the Gold Coast states, and state did attempt to regulate their acquisition.
