looks like a bunch of crap to me.. The problem with these countries is that they recognize wealth merely as a resource..something to be be begged or seized out of someone's hands then distributed between the people..temporary loot to get them through the week/month/decade, rather than something to be CREATED. Until they lay the foundations for wealth creation (strong property rights and a stable currency), they will remain hopeless. I have no problem with giving them a small percentage of GDP in charity/investment, but it should be conditional on them making these reforms.

The capitalists failed and begged at the feet of the people who are held hostage by the aristocracy and who have no choice but to save the very system which keeps them enslaved in the illusion that if you just work hard you will join the ranks of nobility.

America had no labor laws and didn't depend on foreign aid 200 years ago and we still somehow managed to pull our shit together and create a country. Cancelling more debts and sending planes full of loot isn't going to do a damn thing to help them over the long run. They need to embrace the principles necessary for successful fishing..not to be thrown more fish. The mindset of the average people and their governmental "decision makers" is what needs to change in poor places like Africa. Nothing will improve so long as they think wealth is something they are entitled to, and something that can only be gained by a combination of threats and pleading.

I'm not advocating foreign aid because it creates poverty. The massive poor pockets of society in most third world nations typically never see a dime of aid, unless from private organizations. The money goes to fund projects to bring those countries in the modern world, but only a small number of people actually benefit, since most people cant drive, or travel, can't go to shopping malls and have no access to an education so schools, and museums, universities are out of their reach. And still at the end of the day all of those poor are left with the same debt on their heads as those who have money, and governments can't pay back loans for those projects if their country doesn't produce anything because our own companies are coveting their resources and taking advantage of a nonresistant, vulnerable work force.
