A Boost from Professionals

The rise of a class of highly trained workers in the developing world bodes well for growth

By Tom Glocer

As Western societies debate the shortcomings of free-market principles that contributed to this downturn, they appear to have overlooked a powerful, positive global trend. The developing world is quietly embracing the transparency, rule of law, and market pricing that have underpinned the past 100 years of rising global prosperity. And this has led to a growing global professional class.
Why are these new professionals important? Because the growth of law, accounting, and other professions requiring formal training appears to be correlated with lower corruption levels and growth in gross domestic product in these countries. That's excellent news for our networked world economy.

NoDannNo...

this is a drug legalization thread!

Mexico's New Drug Law May Set an Example

Don'tBeTheExampleNotToLegalize

Right on. Legalize the herb, and way cool tech jobs for us at Apple.

Now somebody post some bikini lesbians.

I'm talking about the ultimate rise of developing nations over nations that have artificially sucked the life out of said developing nations through fiat currency, banking and political fraud and meddling. This system inherently lacks individual liberty and forces people to be reliant on the system that generates wealth from a central source rather than simply creating a method for individuals to consensually transfer commodities between one another so that true wealth lies in the hands of individuals rather than a construct of a banking cartel. This is fake wealth. It is immoral and ultimately unsustainable. One of the ways this was accomplished was by making a once ultimate cash crop that our founding fathers produced that allows man to live free from the system, a plant that is a medicinal miracle, to become illegal.

I'm thinking on a much more broad geopolitical sense and how increasing individual liberty ultimately increases wealth and prosperity. It helps people become dependent on themselves and their community rather than some monolithic artificially created entity built on a house of cards. I am the example of why herb should be legal. It's not my fault if you're not on the same plain.

Having a debate about drug decriminalization has already been done. The results are in:

"Judging by every metric, decriminalization in Portugal has been a resounding success," says Glenn Greenwald, an attorney, author and fluent Portuguese speaker, who conducted the research. "It has enabled the Portuguese government to manage and control the drug problem far better than virtually every other Western country does."

I thought we already learned about the effects of prohibition in the 20s.

I'm talking about getting fucked up on sensimilla at the Apple campus and drooling at tube videos.

I don't know yet,
you both have solid points,
I am going to wait for more discussion before I decide which is better.
