Why can we not print extra money for helping poor people in Africa, Asia and many other places?

Because if the government printed loads of money, inflation would go up and the economy would be ruined. \n\nIf only it was that easy...

A country's central bank controls the currency.  If a country were to just print out more money (too much money) they will end up destabilizing the currency, meaning too much money chasing too few goods.  This will cause high inflation and will then cause more money to be printed and on and on.  Additionally world markets will see what is going on and will take their money out causing more damage to that country.  Just printing out more currency is not the answer, just ask some South American countries, they learned that the hard way.

The Government does not have permission to print the money as much as it wants. The amount of money printed is decided based on the Gold reserve at the RBI, and various other factors. If more money is printed than that, the value of rupee will go down, and there will be chaos in the market. So, the government borrows money from the World Bank or IMF, thus balancing the World's Economic System.

No way how can any country let alone USA give the rights to print the money for other countries. Thats in no way possible. That kind of a thing will affect the security and the economy of the country . So my answer is a Big NO

Because of African dictators who take western hand-outs and use it for the own personal benefit rather than feed their own people. Poverty in Africa will never end due to this.\n\nAnd "The Champion" needs to catch a wake up. The US is at the forefront of giving aid to poverty stricken countries. It's not Bush's fault if the receivers don't use the cash wisely. The West should probably stop giving aid since it's only an incentive to "freedom fighters" to take over the poor country in order to get the aid.

If you are referring to celeb in US and UK or Europe, well most of these countries are developed, and although poverty and lack exists everywhere, third world countries have more of it and people do not have the right mentality to combat it or the right environment to be able to change their current situations\n\nplus they get more publicity that way too............

The same reason the Nigerian government allows "419" scams to go on and is the country's second or third largest source of income. They want U.S. dollars. Their own money is not worth very much.

The more "rich" countries have used and abused the more poor countries, after sucking up all their resources they leave them high-and-dry. Its so easy to ignore the rest of the world unless they have something you want, IE: oil, coal, coco beans, rice, cattle, etc.

The problem in the third world countries is not money to be solved by these aids. The problem is corruption, ignorance and social underdevelopment. People there should wake up, thats their only way.

most are scams that require payment somewhere along the way, for "handling costs" or "administrative costs" or "registration fees", in advance of the delivery of a shoddy or non-existent prize. and even if such things are legitimate, do keep in mind that most people in Africa do not even have electricity, much less own a computer or have access to the internet.

Because if too many people farmed, then farmers could not earn enough money, and they would all quit. As for starving people in other countries, I know it is sad, but farmers will only harvest what they can sell for a satisfatory profit. Unless someone is paying them for the crops, they will not grow it. Its one sad part of the world we live in.

There are many issues causing poverty - there is inequality, human rights issues, lack of education, lack of access to information, unfair trade practices ... so reducing poverty in this millenium is a difficult although attainable goal.  There's also talk of the Milllenium Development Goals which multialteral development insitutions are inviting all governments and NGOs to help in achieving. I hope this will help you attend that lecture better.

Most rich countries DO help poor countries. One major problem are the goverments of the poor countries are so corrupt that the food and medicine we send end up being SOLD instead of given as it's supposed to be. Often it is sold on the Black Market with full knowledge or cooperation from corrupt government officials.\n\nDo we stop trying under those conditions or do we keep doing what we can to help? It's not an easy answer. If the US and other rich countries stopped giving, many small countries would colapse into anarchy.

If the wealthy and upper middle class people would donate money to Africa, that would be a start. I understand it's hard for us working folk, but the billionaires, millionaires, even thousandnaires should stop being so stingy and world hunger could totally be solved.
