[ExI] How slow is capitalism?

[Will Steinberg]

Oy.  Is that the state of humanism in Europe?  Racist apologetics?

You said Singapore have/had a much smaller population than Libya. It is
false. The reverse was true until a few years ago.

I always know this in the reverse.
Singapore obtained independence so the Malay had the majority of the
population in Malaysia and the Chinese in Singapore.

By the way, the "quality" of people is determinate by the people asking
them to work. For example, Chinese enterprises working in Algeria bring
their entire workforce with them. They rarely use local workforce. Could
this be linked to their productivity?

The same is true for businessmen opening factories in China. They
started in China before they started in the Middle East. Usually the
order of investment is from the most rewarding to the least rewarding.
And the manpower quality is surely a factor (but not the only one).

For what I know, a little, factory owner in North Africa prefer a female
workforce when possible, because the males are slackers. IQ, culture,
whatever. Don't matter. At the end they are less productive than Chinese.

In Europe, for example, the number of Chinese supported by the welfare
is small (I really never heard of one), where the number of Middle
Eastern is disproportionated to their effective number.

Do you think Italians or Europeans are racists with Middle Easterns,
Roma or Africans but not with Chinese and East Asians?

My opinion is that tiny Singapore leadership was short of any easy
choices (natural resources and likes) and, being smart, settled for the
hard but rewarding.

In the not so long run it made much more sense.

I talked about culture, also.
If you are a Muslim inside a tribe in Libya, it is difficult you have a
Confucian or Calvinistic work ethic. If you have, you are a misfit.
