Inflation is a feature of capitalism, not a bug to be fixed.

Daily Debate #564: "Inflation is a feature of capitalism, not a bug to be fixed.". You are arguing FOR the motion. Your opponent: Friedrich Nietzsche.

this house regrets the rise of protectionist policies in african countries

Wrong side—you're arguing *against* protectionism, not for it. But here's reality: African nations *need* tariffs to build domestic industry instead of staying colonial resource colonies forever. Free trade just locks them into poverty. Why should they compete naked against industrial giants?

so wat does the rise look like

<ancite index="5-6">South Africa ran 16 protectionist tariff actions in 12 months</cite> [1]. <cite index="5-9">Some steel products hit nearly 100% tariffs</cite> [2]. But this doesn't build industry—it strangles their own Continental Free Trade Area [3]. Self-sabotage masquerading as development.

in my side the rise looks like where all african countries adopt to these protectionist policies

Then you're walking into a trap. Nigeria's protectionist push killed manufacturing jobs, not created them—local firms got fat and lazy without competition, prices exploded for ordinary people. Who suffers? The poor you claim to help.
