African attitudes and behavior are very different from those of people whose nations have developed technologically in the past 200 years. No amount of loans will teach people how to mix concrete or organize an effective workforce. These are things that people either decide to do on their own or have imposed upon them by a colonial power.
I oppose ensnaring third world nations in debt. Either give them free stuff or let them figure civilization out on their own. "We can help them while making money at the same time" is always a veil for exploitation.

Predatory loans are not the whole picture. Stock markets and business loans have made many poor people rich. I know some of them. > No amount of loans will teach people how to mix concrete or organize an effective workforce. Student loans can help here. > I oppose ensnaring third world nations in debt. The developed world does not have a monopoly on finance. Credit unions and microcredit are possible anywhere, but nevertheless depend on trust and stability.
