  I have to hand it to them, knowing their oil wealth will eventually be depleated, building 'world wonders' such as this and the borge etc is a stroke of genius.

    Building great universities and the free and open societies necessary to support them would be an even better plan. Cambodia has world wonders. Singapore doesn't.

    Back when Potosí was booming, palatial buildings and churches were being built all over the city. I suppose the beautiful old buildings help Potosí get a little more money from tourism, but that doesn't make it Monaco. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potos%C3%AD http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potos%C3%AD

  Interesting, but how is this related to hacking or startups?
