Bringing attention to HAITI'S ECONOMY/ HOW TO IMPROVE IT, The concept of an economic MODEL itself is problematic.

Maybe a model is not what we should be looking for. These nations that have what we now call models did not have so called models when they started their economic rise. What are now called models were just various things that were institutionalized because they worked for each particular nation at the particular times needed.

We Haitians need to just find what works for us and in the long run we too will be labeled for having a great economic model.

What really works for the economy is having a table of intelligent people (who can leave their ego at the door) sit down and come up with various solutions that might work. When you have a consensus from a group of intelligent people working on a problem, chances are the solution will be a good one.
Here's a quote for you from article that I read. I capitalized the sections that I thought were key:
"China’s success since it began its transition to a market economy has been based on ADAPTABLE strategies and policies: AS EACH SET OF PROBLEMS ARE SOLVED, NEW PROBLEMS ARISE, FOR WHICH NEW POLICIES AND STRATEGIES MUST BE DEVISED.

This process includes SOCIAL INNOVATION.
