  1. Automaton is not a fix-all issue. Wealth in our society is distributed based on how much a person works;if all the jobs are worked by ai then wealth redistribution is impossible

  2. Back then, the primary division is not just between Hindu/Muslim or India/China, but also between West and Asia.

  3. All of South Asia except India is on the edge,and even then India only hang by the skin of their teeth due to neoliberal policies increasing forex reserves A lot of this can be pinned to the halting of economic liberalization of the 90's,populism and increasing oil prices

  4. Yes Indonesia somehow have higher gini coefficient than South Korea (more inequality) actually all of the coastal Asean countries (Malaysia,Phillipines,Indonesia) have high inequality compared to mainland Asean countries like Thailand and Vietnam,which is surprising since Thailand and Vietnam are actual dictatorships

  5. Of course, hardworking never gets you anywhere, otherwise factory workers would've been billionaires Its working smartly (corruption and nepotism) that gets you the high life

  6. IMO Vietnam received huge fdi because its nearby China and its more compact than India,making transport of goods and manufacturing easier

  7.  @_--9286  i disagree,look at Saudi Arabia or China with its rare earths. Natural resources does not automatically result in corruption. More likely the emergence of a weakened state structure after the collapse of colonialism was unable to pressure mining and trading companies into a more beneficial trade agreement and redistribute it to the people equally

  8. True,the people here denounce race based laws in Malaysia but it is clear that they do it because their race is not the one on the top instead of a genuine humanist concern. It reminds me of sectarianism in Iraq or race politics in South Africa.People only criticize ruling regime because they want their own identity group as the ruler

  9.  @vincere_  the sri lankans were unable to maintain their countries due to the legacy of colonialism Colonialism,like all form of imperialism purposefully created weak local governments to prevent them from being too independent from the imperial centre. This means that when the imperium collapsed what remains in the former colonies were weak government structures that were soon capture of local ethnic and class interests. In Sri Lanka this local interest is sinhala majoritarianism,in US it was the southern gentry,in Mexico it was landlords etc

  11.  @deadby15  the 1# method of a person getting his daily bread is via working. It does not matter how the upper class(bourgeoisie,feudal lords,patricians) earn their crumbs,what truly matters is whether the rest of us has crumbs in the first place,otherwise you will get a revolution

  15. Raising taxation without punishing the rich will punish the poor instead,by taxing the "black economy" of the lower people.It's the sad truth

  16. White settlers barely did anything for Sri Lanka

  17. Its probably an informal title rather than a formal one codified in the constitution. A late dictator from my country was rumoured to come from a long bloodline of sufi mystics despite being the leader of a constitutionally secular country

  18. Anyone that knows India know that making semiconductor is far easier than eliminating open defecation,heck developing a nuclear submarine is easier than making sustainable sewage system and getting people to use it
