I do believe that the fact that give "handouts" only to people whose kids attend school (which really matters because there was a lot of child labor when they started) shows they are at least trying to address some of the problems. I think they did a lot of things wrong, and there's a lot of things missing, but calling them out in what I see as one of their most effective policies seems wrong. The contradiction between protectionist policies and search for investment, the alliance with groups opposed to the improvement of infrastructure, the blatant corruption and the stuff wslh mentioned seem more accurate to me.
