Jon Miller: MikeH speaks the truth

Originally posted by Oerdin View PostIndicators of progress in overcoming poverty in Latin America have been heralded recently by international institutions. Yet a closer look at data from the World Bank and the United Nations reveals contradictions that are not easily resolved by reference to the underlying methodologies. This paper provides an introduction to how poverty is measured, what the data indicate about trends in poverty, and reasons to tread cautiously in interpreting it as evidence of progress or stagnation. While significant progress has been achieved in a few large countries, the poorest countries are still very poor, and some countries have even seen increases in their poverty rates despite economic growth.

The Chinese are investing in Africa and providing the labour as well. I can easily see them increasing the production of commerce crops quite substantially there.
Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”
The world, in the last three hundred years, has not changed except in that sense.

Where did I say it will benefit Africans?Originally posted by Bugs ****ing Bunny View Post
Edit:
I can however think of a few things:
-They can't import everything, they don't rule any slice of Africa yet so some stimulation to the local economy must be happening.
-Helps the global economy thus indirectly helping Africans.
-Larger bribes for local officals.Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”

How can money deposited in swiss banks help the local economy ?Originally posted by Heraclitus View Post
Africans being paid what is just enough to keep them alive may help chinese economy - I'm a bit unsecure how it help africans.-Helps the global economy thus indirectly helping Africans.
Se no 1.-Larger bribes for local officals.With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

The Chinese where untill recently only paid just enough to keep them alive.... shouldn't cheap labour in Africa attract investors? Perhaps if there where a few stable authoritarian regimes Africa could do what China and India are doing sometime in the 22nd century?Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”

I don't like the Chinese habit of importing Chinese workers to do all the work but at the end of the day the Chinese do build up a lot of infrastructure, they do pay taxes (not all of which are stole), plus the Chinese do good will stuff like dig wells and pave roads to villages. Plus it does create local jobs and the exports do earn foreign exchange which helps banks doing business in the country. Could it be better? Sure, the work could be done by locals instead of Chinese (and it should be) but let's not pretend it isn't helping to develop the country.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

Foreign investments in africa is more or less investment in areas that easily can be called slave camps. It doesn't improve infrastructure.
If africa shall get anywhere, then projects such as microloans are way more effective.With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

You have to ship the stuff over seas so the Chinese especially build roads, railroads, airports, and ports. That's real infrastructure.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

I guess Blackcat thinks anyone with a job is a slave and it is much better for them to be unemployed.
