And access to some of those pesky infinite resources
- barry-cotter 8y agoPeople make resources. People made crude oil and coal into resources. People made uranium ore into a resource. People made ores that would have been regarded as uneconomic dirt into wealth all over the world. (Ethnic) Chinese people turned a rock into a first world country in under 50 years, in Singapore and Hong Kong. The important resource is people. When oil becomes economically irrelevant the Arabian peninsula will be economically irrelevant despite having had a 100 years of sitting on top of huge oil resources. Ireland’s natural resources are some land that’s good for raising cattle and sheep and they grew rich off of pharmaceuticals, IT and other US multinationals. Luxembourg grew rich off of banking. Natural resources are nowhere near as important as people. People turn dirt into valuable things. Without them it’s just dirt.
