]]> Comment on Detroit – why liberalism does not work! by Vilda http://attrell.com/?p=842#comment-249 Vilda Sat, 10 Mar 2012 01:16:42 +0000 http://attrell.com/?p=842#comment-249 It's an interesting point. Sort of like, if you have otihnng to fight for, you don't bother fighting anymore, and sit on your hands.It doesn't really play out that way in European countries such as Denmark they have universal health coverage, they pay *you* to go to college, etc., but Forbes has said they have the best business climate in the world, and has been ranked the "happiest" place in the world based on education and health care, with less corruption than any nation in the world.Can we ever be free, wealthy, and happy as a nation? No because when there are "haves" there must be "have nots". So I guess it's better to be a "have". It’s an interesting point.

]]> Comment on Haiti Elementary School by Melky http://attrell.com/?p=895#comment-248 Melky Fri, 09 Mar 2012 22:45:50 +0000 http://attrell.com/?p=895#comment-248 Woah, I would seriously qtsiueon this statement What are the chances that Haiti is ever going to grow or develop? I understand the rush for migration-based cures for development, but it seems that plenty of economists have just completely forgotten that the nation-state remains a major source of identity and a profoundly important social and political construct.We might not be nationalists (particularly in the developed, peaceful world, since nationalism increases in times of well-defined crisis), but we shouldn't forget that most poor people have homes that they love. Their first best scenario is making their home, where they have cultural, social and geographical roots a better place to live. If we write off the possibility of this happening altogether we'd better have pretty bloody good evidence.I appreciate the motives behind this discussion are pure, but I'd be pissed off as a Haitian (or a Sri Lankan, or a Tanzanian) if someone told me nope give up. you'll never develop. Best leave home'. Most migrants want to return to the place they were born and have roots one day.And in response to Tyler Cowen given what Haiti did to the last people who tried to govern them and own their souls, I'm pretty sure neither the US nor the UN would last very long if they tried to tell the descendents of the *ONLY SUCCESSFUL SLAVE REVOLT IN WORLD HISTORY* that they were getting governed by someone else again.
