Why haven't the Third World countries experienced the growth that most of the rest of the world has enjoyed?

You need three things for prosperity.

A respect for property, simple legal steps to get the property and a judiciary who supports the ownership of property.

All of those things are missing in the third world.

You also need an impartial government not run by nepotism and bribery; a decent educational system; enough food; and decent transport and power distribution systems.

As well as a lack of massive sectarian violence.

Non-confiscatory policies (as well as low enough taxes) help to; as does suppression of monopolies.

Most third world countries have an average IQ < 90. That is the core problem.
