Quote:And that comes to illustrate my theory. Is really capitalism a good deal? why? As I see it, capitalism consist on high-developed countries leeching low-developed ones, suck their resources and become richer.
That's not the case at all. If you look at the cold, hard, facts, in the recent decades capitalist developed countries have accelerated the growth of developing countries everywhere in the world where the market has been open to opportunities.
The reason that many African and South American countries did not grow at all during this period, and continue not to grow, is because of stability issues. Regardless of the reason for instability in many African states, it is there.
The equation for growth in a developing country requires stability and capital, especially from foreign sources. Removing capitalism from the picture now will remove the equation altogether. What must and is being worked on is stability. Once the stability is there, development will follow.
Unfortunately, it is rather difficult to get stability in many parts in Africa, as it is a gun-soaked region.
Peace cannot be obtained without war. Why? If there is already peace, it is unnecessary for war. If there is no peace, there is already war."
