Sounds a lot like what happened to Spain's economy

Yes, quite similar.

I was making a poor jab at the typo "white-owned farmers" - I really hope they meant "white-owned farms" or "white farmers".

Do you have any literature on this?

I read about it in Rose Wilder Lane's Discovery of Freedom.

Anenome:

when President Robert Mugabe seized the land of over 4,000 white-owned farmers

Sounds a lot like what happened to Spain's economy after they expelled the Muslims and Jews who were the heart of the economy at the time, roughly prior to the Spanish Inquisition.

They were convinced that expelling these people would lead to new prosperity for all true spaniards. Man what a shock they got.

Pretty soon government officials were sending armed guards to retrieve bread from bakeries, and finally Spain had to invite other rulers to come take over.

Lol, you can't make this stuff up ^_^

Zimbabwe Is Down to Its Last $217

There are cash-strapped governments and there are broke governments. And then there's Zimbabwe, which, after paying last week's government salaries, has just $217 left in the bank. No, we didn't forget any zeroes to the end of that figure. Zimbabwe, the country that's home to some of the world's largest platinum and diamond reserves, literally has the same financial standing as a 14-year-old girl after a really good birthday party.

http://truth-out.org/news/item/13890-the-second-amendment-was-ratified-to-preserve-slavery

Second Amendment? Racist.

It's cool that even in the comment section people are calling this out for the quackery it is:

"The author places many quotes out of context. You may try reading the Dred Scott decision. After you do, feel free to write an article declaring that the sole purpose of the US judiciary was to enforce slavery, because the courts did exactly that for over 150 years. Clearly, the entire purpose of the Justice Department was to enforce slavery in all 50 states. By further extension, the US flag flown over Ft McHenry was a flag devoted 100% to the enforcement of slavery during the Battle of Baltimore. Therefore, the Star Spangled Banner as a song is devoted to enforcing slavery. Yankees fly the US flag in the stadium in NY. Therefore, the Yankees are playing baseball to enforce slavery and racism. Are you getting the point?"
