Itâs not possible becasue the two goals are incompatible. The answer is to reverse the mistake of the civil war, and separate the âcoastsâ from the âcoreâ.

Ask the question, which is more voluntarily reciprocal?

A) Um, all aggregate measurements are misleading. If in a country of 1M people, they make $1 a day and I make $1B a day, the GDP/Population will be 365M + 365B/1M, giving the impression that everyone in the country is making more than $300K per year.
B) Resources are a curse, because they lead to corruption, rent seeking, subsidy, and a lack of innovation.
C) Putin does not get credit for his expansion of rule of law. But corruption is pervasive. It is not like corruption in the states – which is invisible – it’s visible. And in some ways that’s more tolerable. But it is very hard to start and keep a business running, and it’s middle class and business that drives a people out of low income.
B) Russia is a VERY big place. I mean, the USA is big. But Russia is 11 time zones big, and like canada, the population is largely along the borders. Imagine the cost of infrastructure in Belgium or Denmark vs the cost of infrastructure in Russia? For example, I spent some time with the founder and ‘president’ of one of the popular mega sports store chains. And what do you do when you run a business across that many time zones, and telephone, internet, and power, are often unreliable? What do you do when you must pay (bribe) people in the government just to get basic things done – not even privileges, but just to do their job? I tried to buy a company in moscow, and i literally couldn’t find one to buy. Not because there weren’t any. But because you can’t keep ‘legit’ books and survive. And it’s never clear who owns anything. Until the past few years it was difficult to trust the courts so contracts were difficult, and cash rather than credit slows the economy. So all of these ‘frictions’ add up.
C) Moscow is a VERY expensive city (I wish I lived there, I love it and I love russian people). But people outside the major cities are still quite poor. (And Belarus and Ukraine are even worse.)
D) Russians were virtually slaves 150 years ago. Under the soviets it varied quite a bit from murderous, to horrible to comfortable, to exceptionally good. And then they had a catastrophic event (collapse), and then dragged themselves out of it.
The only difference I have found between ‘white’ russians and ‘white’ americans is that americans are foolishly optimistic and trusting, and russians are foolishly pessimistic and untrusting. The rest of the western world has turned effeminate in the french(postmodern) and jewish(marxist) and outside of Australians, White americans, and White Russians, Christendom is in a catastrophe.

No. the metric system was a mistake. “Human Scale” measurements are superior.
a thumb is an inch.
A foot is a foot.
A yard is an arm.
A mile is a thousand paces.
Fahrenheit is superior for temperature sensitivity.
The only reason for the metric system was to make calculations easier.

I’ve looked into this, and the answer is the same for any developing country: if you can produce a judiciary, police force, and military that will enforce property rights, moral (reciprocal) contracts, and where bureaucrats are open to suit by anyone for corruption, then eventually you will prosper.
Nigeria and Ghana at the very least have nothing but time holding them from becoming an advanced society. There are, in both countries, upper middle class (professionals), and those people are the ones who matter.

We actually have quite a bit of data. The data I have seen is cross compiled from a number of surveys and has something just under 100K samples – which is about what you need for something of this size. (No studies of less than 1000 are meaningful, and at 10,000 we begin to see some value
The top ten most racist and bigoted countries, in descending order, are the following:
In american, the most racist people are
White people are the most tolerant and accepting – in the world.
White people are just the most likely to be INVADED because they produce the best *Commons* in the world, and therefore the best life experience.
So whites experience the PROBLEM of racial conflict more often. So the question arises more frequently.
Anyway. It’s the opposite of what you’d think.

THat’s a contradiction in terms. Left means either parasitism or free riding. Left libertarians promote free riding on all commons.

I think russia has more apologizing to do than any other existing country, so lets not get into this kind of thing. Either you are advancing one another’s economic interests in the present or you are not. There is nothing else to be discussed.
Blame your family and friends. Grownups conduct trades in a market. And if you are considering blame in international affairs you are too immature to be holding the discussion.

Republican (Aristocratic) ethics seek to restore the ethics of the intergenerational nuclear family as the central unit of social, economic, and political order. It is not correct to say that they don’t want to pressure social issues. They do. Because they want the families to run the world, not the government. We are all equal as families and we are all unequal in every other capacity.
