Hi Protean.

Have you read Dambisa Moyo's book 'Dead Aid?' She is a brilliant economist who argues that aid is the problem (aside from Bill Easterly). Her main argument is that investment, not foreign aid is the solution to development. Very insightful. And I really love your insight on Haiti and its longitudinal underdevelopment. I haven't read Aristide's book but I will be reading it soon.

@narcissusverbena I've heard of Moyo & I've familiar w/her book, but I haven't read it. I agree that investment is better than just sending money or goods, as long as the investment is culture-specific & not an attempt to impose our way of life (education, usage of banks & debt) on others.

The subsidization of crops is a terrible weapon used by governments and corporations to take over poor countries and it works very well to the detriment of the poor in whichever country is being taken over...Haiti and Nigeria are perfect example of locals having to watch foreign corporations profit from their resources while they starve.

i always get a kick out of these globalist jews who run around crying about how 'markets need to be open' or 'countries need democracy'

yeah for THEM. They try to make it sound like they're talking about the people of any given country. They're not. They're really talking about THEMSELVES because they want to move in and buy everything pennies to the dollar.

@narcissusverbena I agree with this argument. Companies and entities INVESTED in Japan, China India, and many other developing and developed nations all around the world. Few entities have invested in Haiti, Africa, etc.; it was all hand outs (on the surface at least; I'm inclined to believe some of the theories of organ harvesting, toxin-dumping, etc.).

I think some of the solution lies in Haitian leaders finding better models. More privatization can be good if it's done a certain way. Former commuist countries like Poland and Estonia were able to expand privatization without the problems experienced by other countries the tried neoliberalism in the 90's. Those U.S farm subsidies aren't real free trade. Even most capitalist advocates are against them like those at the Cato Institute. Subsidies are just tax wasting corporate welfare.

@wwintelligencer why do you think usa must hate cuba? because when castro nationalized the country, a lot of jewish business owners lost their businesses and control so they fled to the usa and insisted the usa ostracize cuba "because" it's communist.... even though the usa could still trade w/ china and it is communist.
