Poor countries and rich countries
There is an ancient story which says that god found himself giving gifts for each country from each continent. He went to Europe, America, Asia, Oceania giving talents to the people who lived there, but when the turn to Afrima came,God was tired and he just decided to throw on the land all the rare minerals and precious metals he had in his bag.
It is paradoxical to notice that countries with a lot of resources are, at the same time, those with higher rates of poverty; for example, the phones we use in our current lives, also the cell phone I’m using to write this text, have some particularities in common and those are the minerals used to built them. No matter what kind of brand you buy, no matter what kind of specifications your phone has, all of them are built with the same materials, the difference is the amount of minerals present in each model.
Probably you already have heard about the “coltan” also called, in an informal way, “the black gold”. Coltan is indispensable in a technological world, all the gadgets we have right now need it, and how you probably guessed the highest amount of coltan lands are from Africa, more specifically from Kongo; then, how is it possible for Congo to be so poor when the coltan just appears on the surface of the land they tread?
The sad truth is that when you have easy access to resources and wealth, you have so many competitors and if anyone is able to just dig the land and take the mineral to port to sell it, paradoxically, you don’t need so many people to do that job. So if you control the coltan lands, you just need to share your treasure with the people that work for you and those that use guns and represion to keep your life safe. Unfortunately that’s what has happened to Congo for decades; in other words, ”guerrilla war” where each guerrilla is trying to steal the treasure and use it to share them among the leaders of the armed group to keep the group loyal and preserve the status quo.
This situation is so different in countries that do not have easy access to resources, because they have to generate wealth to trade with other countries the goods they lack. This kind of countries does not have a rich mineral land and if a mineral exists it is not present on the surface, so they have to process the lands to obtain the seeked mineral and that means the job needs to be done by prepared people, so they need schools and universities to teach the people how to do the job; then, they don’t need just the people to extract the mineral from the land, they need the people who teach how to do it and to keep those people loyal you have to share the revenue to them, but you have investigations, because there might be a cheaper way to do the job and get more money, so you have to share your treasure with them too.
As you may noticed, the more complex the job and the more participation you need the better the treasure will be distributed among the population, because most of the population is involved in the process of wealth creation, the teacher, the student, the guy who sells books for students, the professionals who apply knowledge and the investigator in charge of found an efficient way to do the job. When you need people to create wealth, they’ll be wealthy, but when you need few people to create wealth the treasure will be distributed among few people, that’s the reason why industrial and services oriented economies are more egalitarian and more democratic than extractive ones.
