If you
look at the data on different countries, look for the countries with the lowest
debt, smallest government and largest private sector. The private sector pays for the government
and the less it has to pay, the more it can let the private sector reinvest in
its businesses to make them more competitive.
In Russia,
Africa and the Middle Eastern Arab countries, the government owns their oil and
gas businesses and the populations are subsidized on welfare. These citizens
need property rights, the rule of law and a larger private sector. Even poor
countries can allow families to grow food and should be expanding economic
self-reliance.
All
freedoms stem from economic self-reliance. If you are not free to support
yourself and your family, you are not free. Many 3rd world countries
have populations that are distracted by their tribal cultures and barred by
government laws are stuck in poverty.
Many Communist and socialist countries have some form of private sector
activity, because they need it to support their unsustainable socialism.
Cash is
king in all countries and cash-flow must be maintained. It is easier to maintain if their national
debt is low. Look at Venezuela, Puerto Rico and Greece and the general economic
weakness of many other European countries; UN policies and the Muslim invasion
particularly have all but ruined Europe.
There are
aberrations. China has allowed State-owned companies to form, to manufacture
goods for export to the US. These
companies are owned by the Chinese government, but they can operate
sufficiently to retain their US customers. China has a quasi-free market system
operating in these government-owned bubbles. China also reformed their
agricultural industries to give enough incentives to function. The Chinese are
not free, but many are self-supporting. Without these reforms and a willing US
market, China would still be a 3rd world country. Even some
Communist countries recognize the value of a “private sector”.
