Ma l'utilizzo dell'"asso nella manica" è tuttora limitato sia per l'estrema povertà di molte regioni del mondo, sia per l'incapacità di prepararsi ad attività alternative da esercitare quando la vecchiaia sopraggiunge.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Mozambique
According to the modern theory of hinterland, Portugal claimed dominion over the territory situated between her possessions on the east and west coasts of Africa; but when in 1889 England proclaimed its protectorate over Matabeleland, Mashonaland, Nyassaland etc., Portugal, notwithstanding the immense indignation aroused by the occurrence at Lisbon, had to acquiesce.
In 1891 lack of capital compelled the Portuguese government to lease with administrative authority a large portion of the colony to the Mozambique and Nyassa Companies; the former controls the Manica and Sofala regions, and the latter the territory enclosed between the Rovuma, Lake Nyassa, and the Lurio River.
It is generally accepted that the Anglo-German Secret Treaty of 1898 dealt with the partition of Mozambique in the event that Portugal should be unable to extricate itself from its financial difficulties.
