Taiwan has twice the population density yet has a per capita income ten times greater than Haiti. I won't compare the even smaller, more densely populated, wealthy city-states of Hong Kong and Singapore. It not land, natural resources or climate -- it's people and culture that make wealth.
Do you suspect there are some cultural or generic differences between industrious Asians and Hatee Africans? Facts wure seem to point that way.... but hey we shouldn’t listen to facts.
Have never read or know much about DR and Haiti history other than Haiti is 100% slave decendents. Any good references?
