I agree. The practical solution is to bring the know-how to the destitute regions and manage the change there. This is where the conundrum of intervention comes in. If we do nothing we risk economic collapse, as the USA has become dependent on third world nation work forces, and conditions continue to worsen in those failing regions. If we intervene to bring about the needed changes, we are seen as Empire builders and risk a back lash from other developed nations. Jeffrey Sachs (Professor of Sustainable Development) and his associates have worked out the details in a way where the costs would hardly be noticed by rich nations. project-syndicate.org Jeffrey Sachs' books include The End of Poverty, Common Wealth, and, most recently, The Age of Sustainable Development.
