States of conflict make people believe in propaganda, not in facts. Thus masses become more manouvereable. You just have to tune the propaganda for your desired goal.

The Protestant Ethic was wrong!Free money Here’s an idea for foreign aid: Just hand over the cash. In the last decade, however, the governments of the nations where most of the world’s poorest actually live have begun to turn to an idea that seems radical in its simplicity: Solve poverty and spur development by simply giving out money. In Brazil and Mexico, India, China, South Africa, and dozens of other nations, hundreds of millions of poor people are now receiving billions of dollars in cash grants. The programs vary widely, but typically the money — disbursed through banks, post offices, state lottery offices, and even, in rural Africa, ranging armored cars with ATMs on them — goes directly to the poor, rather than being spent on particular projects by government or international aid officials. boston.com
