Country that produces fiat money is less kleptocratic. The country start saying it is the champion of the free market and this is what substantiates its wealth. Then it says also: it is democracy that underlies our wealth. The rest of the world must follow said country to achieve that level of wealth. I bought that until I was 17 and henceforth discovered that was plain wayo. There's no need for democracy, free markets and such shibboleths. And several countries went exactly the opposite way and progressed. The European and Japanese cases were simply showcases to 'prove' that democracy and free markets are the way to go. Pure artificial creations to throw smoke and the eyes of the gullible mass of shirtless worldwide. I witnessed problems multiplied by 1.000 in Nigeria and that gave the depth of understanding on how countries -really work. Today the truth is plain to see. All countries and peoples are equal, only the capacity to play wayo and get away with it makes them different. I thought I would not live to see that falsehood come to light and people understand it. There's Kenya trying to get a democracy in place and that sacred cow doesn't work unless it is propped up artificially to function. Lesson to the rest of the world: Throw away the rule book. Violate all the rules and get rich. There has been too much time wasted with the artificial model.

one of the most-stable democracies. The nation has many political parties, a strong civil society and press freedoms, yet is one of world's poorest countries, severely underdeveloped and corrupt. As you can see Benin doesn't benefitted iof the scared cow democracy. Lookto India!! The biggest democracy in the world and same thing: corrupt underdeveloped and poor. Only demographic window can prop countires up. China knew that when they implemented one-child policy. Africa's demographic window will opne only in 2085. They have another 77 years of poverty to struggle with. But now with Brazil, China and India stepping in, their poverty will be aliviated and made more beareable.
