>>>Sad part is, it’s a very rich part of the world in natural resources. The only thing standing in the way of good people doing well is.... once again... government.
Very true. Whenever I hear someone claim that economies require lots of natural resources in order to thrive, I always ask them to compare poor Argentina — which is rich in almost every possible kind of natural resource, to rich Hong Kong (even after 1997) — which has almost nothing.
Hong Kong is rich in well cultivated minds. While poor in natural resources.
