A hen and egg problem? Are people to blame to flee density in failing states? Enabling them to do so doesn’t fix the core issue, but so doesn’t blaming them for their needs (in case of SA: blaming a minority for their needs already is the de-facto core ideology of the political establishment).
- legitster 3y ago> A hen and egg problem? A lot of Why Nations Fail covers this - collapsing or failed developing countries deal with multiple runaway problems. I do not begrudge individuals doing the best for themselves. But in the grand run of history, democratic free markets with robust middle classes are mostly historical accidents where there is a critical mass of people mutually invested in collective success.
