Ghanaian economist George Ayittey unleashes a blistering, brilliantly argued torrent of controlled anger toward corrupt leaders in Africa. He calls on the “Cheetah generation” -- fast-moving, net-connected and passionate -- to take back the continent from the entrenched leaders, the bloated, greedy and deadly Hippos. One commenter called this talk "one of the best I have seen on TED." (Recorded June 2007 in Arusha, Tanzania. Duration: 18:00)
