Economy
The core business of Wedza was farming with it's aligned service industries until disruptions to commercial agriculture and ranching in the area. Often violent, the racist State sponsored 'Land Reform Project' 2000 of Zimbabwe saw white born Zimbabwean farmers being driven off their farms to a fate undetermined that in turn meant vast amounts of locally employed people lost jobs and livelihoods. However retailing had overtaken all else until the government brought in a pricing policy which was introduced with Operation Dzikisai Mutengo in 2007. The policy has rendered the majority of those fledgling businesses bankrupt and those still afloat have been failing to find adequate stocks and the regional economy has never recovered.

Famous quotes containing the word economy:
“Everyone is always in favour of general economy and particular expenditure.”
—Anthony, Sir Eden (1897–1977)
“Wise men read very sharply all your private history in your look and gait and behavior. The whole economy of nature is bent on expression. The tell-tale body is all tongues. Men are like Geneva watches with crystal faces which expose the whole movement.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I favor the policy of economy, not because I wish to save money, but because I wish to save people. The men and women of this country who toil are the ones who bear the cost of the Government. Every dollar that we carelessly waste means that their life will be so much the more meager. Every dollar that we prudently save means that their life will be so much the more abundant. Economy is idealism in its most practical terms.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
