the culture predominant in Africa does not led itself toward economic progress
Yes this is exactly right. Its all in the culture. Westerners happened to stumble upon a set of values that are conducive to wealth creation while the africans have, for various reasons, not developed these sorts of values. The values that africans have are actually sort of noble, its not for lack of morality or anything like that, its unfortunate that the right values for wealth creation are so unintuitive.
Guess it's time to hand out copies of Atlas Shrugged, instead of bibles.
Well said sir.
Except for one point. Bibles are way more important, because they lead people to eternal life.
We see all kinds of development in Africa. We see modern, and we see exactly the opposite.
Simply giving to Africans doesn't cut it. The only way to improve them is to do it in ways that both you and they profit. However, regarding Africa, there is a problem in doing this.
There are vast areas in Africa where you can get the African people interest in improvement. They improve. They modernize. You and they both make profit. Then you move away from them, and within a hundred years they have fallen back into the stone age.
Many of the people of Africa simply don't have the spark of intelligence that it takes to want to be anything more than primitive. The real question is, are they really the more primitive people for wanting to remain simple, without modern technology? We ALL still die. Modern technology doesn't save us.
