[QUOTE]Originally posted by zarahan- aka Enrique Cardova: [QB] Amun-Ra The Ultimate says: [b]To develop Thailand, Africa or any country the best thing to do is what the Chinese, American, Scandinavian, South Korean did. Be careful of capitalists organizations/bankers reports, statistics, books influenced by them, foreign destabilization and melding, etc. Do what they did (aka taking care of their needs in their own ways), not what they told us to do. None of those regions grew up because of aid. There's no need to beg or ask anything to the governments of American/European(?) people or the Chinese(?) people (why only those 2, ask zarahan) or whoever governments. It's all business. Education, funding local businesses, developing local banking and investment sector, local research, diversification of trading partners, etc. Basically, what China, Scandinavian countries, South Korea, Thailand, Japan(earlier), etc did and continue to do. [/b] Yes, I don;t totally disagree, but keep in mind that SOuth Korea got plenty of aid from the US, billions worth. Not saying that said aid is DIRECTLY responsible for the SK takeoff, but too often people seem to think the takeoff was out of the blue. China got very favorable access to US markets, even under Republican Admins. And indeed, the Reagan regime authorized the transfer of advanced US technology in key areas, and on top of that weaponry, as documented in the recent book: "The Hundred Year Marathon." This was part of the favorable access. And that access also included favorable treatment by capital markets in the West. The export-driven Chinese economy in takeoff stages would have been a bust without the above. [b]When you start an enterprise big or small either in the US or Africa. The only thing you need beside the market is your brain(education, experience, imagination, etc) and the funding (personal savings, family and friends, banks, government program, internet, etc). [/b] Your list of what you need basically ties right back into capitalists organizations/bankers. You say: "all you need is funding" - yeah- of course you need funding, and who are you gonna have to get it from if not the global capitalist establishment? Also to be kept in mind is the role of direct investment, which all of the above countries have greatly benefited from. The Scandanavians would not be where they are without investment from Europe. Favorable natural resources also plays a part- and Scandinavians such as Norway have their oil bonanza that has boosted their economy in a big way. Europe by the way was a massive recipient of aid- via the US Marshall Plan after WW2. In short there are a number of factors in the mix. I think business development is better than aid like you. But what solutions or suggestions to do you have to curb "The Looting Machine"? [/QB][/QUOTE]
