    Thats almost as good as none of the libertarian camp admitting they want to cancel social welfare and replace it with charities.

    china practoces the profit motive, it does not practioce capitalism as marx and smith would have defined it. In capitalism the market and supply and demand are paramount, they are not in china, supply of many things are restricted despite their beinga demand for them, you cannot set up a capitalist business in china if the state doent like yopu, even though a favoured son of the state can set up the same business. which are not restricted in the capitalist world. Thats the difference.
    Yes those other nations exist within the capitaklist discourse, but they do not practoice capitalism so their people do not get the benfits of capitalism.

    Correlation does not imply causation.

    Good one. Fortunately we loony Austrians reject empiricism within economics. Airtight logic will do fine. And I'm sure you've never misspelt a word in your life

    It's a joke 20000miles. I thought you had a sense of humour! But then again the guy who told me that didn't have much of one himself!

    Luckily you do - so why the graph then????

    Surely we could help them by allowing them to control their own lives instead of being at the mercy of the west.
    by "we" I meant the government, people are obviously free to "help" away, the problem with aid is it creates dependency, that's not an economic relationship
