Well in a fair world why do some countries get to have lots of land area and resources and some don't ? Because they "got there first"? Why should Saudi Arabia

Well in a fair world why do some countries get to have lots of land area and resources and some don't ? Because they "got there first"?
Why should Saudi Arabia or Canada be extremely wealthy?
- fujincodes 2y agoYeah, luck plays a part too. Saudi Arabia got lucky with oil, without which it was just warring desert tribes. I happened to see pictures of UAE Sheikhs before the discovery of oil, and they were not very royal, to say the least. Canada has a ton of natural resources, they ought to be wealthy.
- radicalbyte 2y agoYou have it the wrong way around. Look at the US. They have it because they "got there LAST", took their diseases with them and wiped out the natives.
- TeaBrain 2y agoThe "fair world" positioning of their comment makes little sense. It reads as if they believe that a economy should be based solely on resource extraction and if a country doesn't have plentiful resources in their borders, then they don't believe the country should be a "top economy".
