Why don't we just give them more money ?
- We did , Over a trillion dollars, And somehow ... poverty grew .
That doesn't make sense . Money fixes problems .
- Only if the system works. Money doesn't build foundations .....
It just flows through whatever is already there .
- But aid rebuilt Europe after the war . Europe already had courts , laws , tax systems , Aid didn't create orders ... It accelerated order that already existed .
So Africa just needed more time ?
- It needed institulations. Instead ,we send cash .... And cash in weak systems becomes power... not progress.
Where did the money actually go ?
- Private jets . Offshore accounts. Presidential palaces ... Some of it never even touched the peoples it was meant for .
Then why didn't citizens vote those leaders out ?
- Because the leaders didn't depend on citizens . They depended on donors ... No taxes . No accountability . No consequences .
But aid still builds schools and sends food, right ?
- Sometimes . But free food kills farmers . Free clothes kill factories. Charity can quietly erase local jobs .
So instead of growth... it creates dependence .
- Exactly. When help never leaves , people stop building. They start waiting.
Then what actually makes a country rich ?
- Boring things . Property rights . Rule of law . Local businesses ... Gouvernments afraid of their own voters. Not handouts .
So the problem was never lack of money ?
- But a lack of systems . You can donate money . But you can't donate accountability . And without it , even a trillion dollars disappears .
