3. Thats pretty ridiculous. If the richest countries do not allow you to develop, you WONT develop at all. You can just be another Irak, just so other nations can profit out of your people's misery, if the -oh I dont know, maybe the USA- decides that there is profit to be made out of it. And then there's the international bank cartels, but thats a different story. In short, if you are allowed to develop, you may do so, but if not, then bye bye little country.
Banned for this is also somewhat true.
Zimbabwe is a prime example of a country that was once a contendor, but was mesed up due how good it was doing.
However in Barbados's case I think they showed it is possible. Barbados is a paradox in a good way. They have a small area, but many resources; limestone and oil. So they are less dependant on First World countries. However at the same time they built up a large sugar and tourism industry(two of the best in the world). Those are two industries heavily dependant on foreign interest. Yet it has worked becuase Barbados spent those monies on education. Education is free Barbados up tp the University level on the condition that once you are complete you must go to Barbados to work.
Honestly I just refuse to say this cannot happen becuase of someone other than or the people of our country.
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
By the way thanks draakjacket.
