Hi, Linda
Some of your thoughts are highly theoretical and mostly conceptual.

Since the inception of the UN many experts have published methods, models and plans to turn Haiti's economy around.

But what the Haitians quickly realized is that UN & International donors really have no intention to pump any real capital into the Haitian economy so by now I have come to the conclusion we need to raise the money ourselves.

China is wealthy in natural resources; not the case for Haiti.

I suggest privatizing Ed'H and renegotiating some of the wireless contracts to get some cash in and follow GSPARE (Government Spending Policies for Anticipated Return Economics) - pretty much what the FDR administration implemented with the new deal in 1937. GSPARE means spend tax money where and only where there is short capital recovery.

In common terms, the government of Haiti should invest its tax money not just spend it. I can go on for several pages but I will stop here.
thanks

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 mode > >

Rubens you said to me "Some of your thoughts are highly theoretical and mostly conceptual." I'm usually accused of the opposite, as I probably should have been in this case. I think that most people would argue that it is the idea of an "economic mo > >

Linda perhaps Haiti needs to learn and copy some of those adaptable strategies and policies, and incorporate those social innovations as well, since Haiti have not been able to create anything so far on their own. My advice is this: Create a welfare > >

Dear Preval: You alcoholic uncle tom, you need to stop selling the future of Haiti piece by piece to foreigners through your contracts. Did you have to have a contract with American airline to prevent Haitian citizens from setting up their own HaitiA > >

Hi XYZ; I think most of us already know that this sight does not belong to the Haitian government. As I said in a much older post, we continue to blog on the issues as a form of intellectual masturbation because we can't do anything real. Flo and Ma > >

By the way XYZ, I did agree with your point that we could borrow and adapt to our system some of the strategies that work for other nations. I think the key to what you said is "adaptable." > >

Hi, Linda you seem to be a very passionate person about Haiti's plight and I love that much. 1. I am not an expert in Haitian culture and I am somewhat clueless on its would-be impact on an economic development model such as the one I put forward. > >
