Economist always look at the bottom spectrum of the scale, which never includes people or their welfare. In a perfect world like the Romans had for Centuries even will collapse. They used War and slavery to build their empire. The Slave owners of the DEEP SOUTH, During the Confederacy used these same principles to build the DEEP SOUTH of America. The Republic of China, and the Communist are a mirror of this same type of Government. Same thing in India. World Markets can't compete with an in-slaved Government system, and I say it should be opposed. China right now is putting pressure on the U.S. Auto-makers with this labor situation. I think it was poor investment; because you gave all your bargaining power away, and are at their mercy now to what they will. I believe that with a free market, which includes the vote of the populous, and their concerns. The market will thrive, and you attain greater returns back into the market. That's my observation.

lol, do you want a job there?  Me too.\nThe Congolese are very proud (and famously vain) people.  It would not be a politically popular move to make, particularly given the move towards African nationalism over the years.  Also, I'm pretty sure Kabila has been a big pal of Mugabe, hasn't he?  If he shares any of the same views on 'post-colonialism' then I'm sure that international recruitment won't be happening very soon!  I'm not convinced it would help actually.  Better administration won't overcome terrible infrastructure and communications over night, nor the concentration of wealth in the country.

Honduras? I'm not sure if you think you are being cheap, but I don't know many people who would rather by 200,000USD in property in honduras than buying anything else (and I do mean ANYTHING else)

The basics of it was that when Belgium colonized the area, they invented a sort of racial divide in the country between Tutsis and Hutus. There is little actual difference between the two groups, but the Belgians found it helpful to create a tiered class system. The Tutsis, the minority, were given priveleged status and ran the government in most respects. The Hutus, the majority of the population, were kept out of office and influence.\n\nEventually the strife between the two came to such a head that the Tutsis were forced to resign from most positions of government and a new, fairly democratic constitution was made, which meant that the Hutus took control. As a result most of the Tutsis fled the country.\n\nThere was a growing movement for democracy and reunification of the two ethnic groups, but when talks failed Tutsis invaded the country. As a result, there was a massive uprising against Tutsis, in which the ruling class of Hutus killed at least 100,000 Tutsis. Eventually the Tutsis defeated the Hutus and ended the genocide. Afterwards 2 million Hutus fled the country, fearing reprocussions from the Tutsis. They have now mostly returned.

Music\nFijian music is  Polynesian in character, the main style of music is cultural folk music. Fijian folk styles are distinct in their fusion of Polynesian and Melanesian traditions and are dominated by vocal church music, as well as dances characterized by rich harmony and complex percussion made from slit drums or natural materials. Modern Fijians play mandolin, guitar and ukulele along with a variety of indigenous instruments, most commonly lali drums, which are now used to call the people of an area together.\n\nI don't know about the food though sorry!

China has factories and they manufacture cheap stuff from high tech to low tech for consumers of the world.  Cuba only makes cigars.

According to the CIA World Factbook, Brazil has the ninth largest economy in the world at purchasing power parity as of 2006. Brazil has a diversified middle income economy with wide variations in levels of development. Most large industry is concentrated in the south and south east. The north east is traditionally the poorest part of Brazil, but it is beginning to attract new investment. Brazil embarked on a successful economic stabilization program, the Real Plan (named for the new currency, the real; plural: reais) in July 1994. Inflation, which had reached an annual level of nearly 5,000% at the end of 1993, fell sharply, reaching a low of 2.5% in 1998; it was 6% in 2000. Brazil successfully shifted from an essentially fixed exchange rate regime to a floating regime in January 1999.

1. eliminate corruption and dictatorship;\n\n2. expand and support the native system of concentrating wealth for starting small businesses;\n\n3. move away from agriculture that competes with the agribusinesses in Europe and North America and toward the special, exotic fruits and vegetables that can be sold at a premium in the developed countries, adding an effort to "brand" the items. If Chile can bring fruit and vegetables to the US markets in good condition, Africa should be able to as well.\n\n4. try to get the African countries to develop regional and continent-wide tourism marketing, and remove the impediments to tourism, such as unstable governments and rebellion.

Handicrafts arnt the best example, to be honest. They are a very niche market and wouldnt be worth exporting. Think about cars or machinary parts or something big and worth a lot. Then just describe why other countries might buy them, how you would compete with the existing market in those countries, if there would be a sufficient market to make the export worthwhile and so on.

Patriotism!\n\nYou obviously need to be taken away for questioning.\n\n(Do you see anything at all ironic in appellations like "democratically elected Life President"?\nWho did you prefer: Haile Selassie, Idi Amin, Mobutu, Hastings Banda or Jean-Marie Bokassa?)\n\nThe serious answer is that to build a democracy requires an independent government, judiciary, police and army. This stuff only happens as a result of a long-instilled culture of democracy. Which takes centuries to nurture. Army coups, corruption, radical nationalists, racial discrimination etc. are always ready to step into the void. It also must be said that the rest of the world is eternally poking in affairs in the developing world, and due to the wealth discrepancy it only takes a little bit of interference to disrupt a lot.
