From its precolonial to postcolonial times, the people of the Congo have been exploited by their rulers to make one of the worst societies on Earth. Let's take a quick look at the miserable history/economy/life of The Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Mainly inspired by Why Nations Fail by Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson
