What if you could only fix the consequence and not the cause because of your limited funds? Would you decide against doing so?

- anovikov 9y agoAbsolutely. Any fix won't work long term. I relate this to all attempts to do 'small thing' improvements in developing countries like providing solar power to places where grid is 'not an option', makeshift toilets, makeshift electronic money on Android phones instead of normal banks etc. These things just don't work long term, they prolong the suffering much more than actually help. There is no 'hack' around building the functioning civil society, fixing corruption, tribalism and crime, and building a bull blown infrastructure - highways, railways, airports, electric grid, dams and bridges. In fact, even just forcibly building infrastructure without putting the groundwork of civil society, democracy and working laws in place doesn't work so much - see Soviet Union.

Former Soviet Union countries are much better off than Madagascar. 2. However, the best counter example is China.
