Wha...?

The worst sentence I've read this week (granted, it's only Monday):

"The neopatrimonial nature of political authority has coincided with the ideological predispositions of policy elites and the state's low capacity to result in a state with a proclivity for ineffectual intervention in the economy and repeated fiscal crises."

-p. 22 of African Economies and the Politics of Permanent Crisis, 1979-1999 by Nicholas van de Walle.
