>>Perhaps the next abracadabra is re-colonization.<<

I think all the ones that could work easily, are working, and the rest got thrown back.

The next abracadabra is education. The wretched of the earth need to learn to read, write, and do arithmetic. After that comes higher math, medicine, and law.

Also, they need infrastructure - roads, bridges, power generators, water purification plants, sewage treatment plants.

In other words, it would take a lot of money and a lot of work and a lot of time just to bring them into the late 19th century.
