Readers Write: The future of retail is 'buy local'; The key to Africa's economic growth

02/17/2014 11:03 am ET Letters to the Editor for the Feb. 3, 2014 weekly magazine: Kenya's future is increasingly being dictated not by the national government or major businesses, but rather by civil society 鈥� the people.
