Revolutions and coups are actually quite common in third world countries. For the same reasons you mentioned, when you have no middle class, a person willing to work hard has no access to capital, no self-determination. They really have nothing left to lose. They may put up with it for a while ----but then a leader rises up and usually the leader is no better than what they had.

The rich leaders of Third world nations do not invest their money locally. The large percentage of their assests are stored in numbered Swiss accounts.
There is no ready capital for poor people to use; certainly there is no credit either.
