At the system's core lie the limited rights
to land. Without the right to buy, sell, rent or otherwise transfer land, and
when land and other natural resources are free for all, the system becomes
beset by market failure, perverse incentives, waste and environmental
degradation.
The paper explains how, under the pressure of
population growth, people's livelihoods and the environment have been
systematically decimated. A subsequent paper will show how modifications to the
system can, over time, commercialise smallholder agriculture and emancipate
rural Zimbabweans from a life of grinding poverty.
