Does the army have the right to power? What is the dangerous military dictatorship for Ukraine
There are a large population, a large proportion of young people, so the problems of depopulation and aging do not threaten us. If you are not racist, you are unlikely to think that Africans are lazy and unreasonable. Why do Africans live badly? For scientific research on the question of why smart and hardworking people in resource -rich countries live very badly, many scientists have received Nobel Prizes.
Last 2024, the Prize was awarded for many years of research on the role of Daron Ajmoglu and James Robinson's Darron Institutions, you will find a popular statement of their ideas in the books "Why nation is declining" and "Narrow Corridor". But an even more basic book is the work of another Nobel Laureate on Douglas North's economy "Violence and Public Order. The main factors that influenced the course of history" co -authored with John Wallis and Barry Weingst.
The book shows how humanity has tried to subordinate the power of civilians to the military power for millennia, and only when it has succeeded, social development began. Otherwise, power always belongs to people with weapons. More precisely, those who command people with weapons. By chance, they can be professional in civilian government, morally impeccable and valuable. But it is more likely - on the contrary. The peoples of Africa failed to solve this problem.
Therefore, most African countries are governed by military commanders - until they are moved from leading positions by other, subsequent commander. That's why everything is bad in Africa. Also in many countries in Asia and Latin America the same. Instead, everything is good in Europe and America, because there are military commander there are democratically elected civilian power. And when they want to take power, they leave the army and make their candidates for the election.
