Capitalism requires capital, money. Haiti has none
Capital can be in the form of a sewing machine.
A country that has cars can afford sewing machines.
Back in 2010 during the earthquake an engineer out of Germany came up with an idea for small houses using minimal amount of lumber. Georgia Pacific donated all the material and even paid for it to be shipped to Haiti. The engineer flew to Haiti with a group of people to help assemble all of these small houses.
The port authority wanted $70,000 to unload the material.
The engineer explained it was all donated and they were they to assemble the houses. Didn’t matter they wanted their money
Haiti’s capital gets stolen faster than it can accumulate.
