Comments

Inflation is caused by overprinting money. Most government debt is spent on infrastructure. Cities compete with Rural areas and governments are faced with choices to build a power plant for the Cities or build irrigation infrastructure for the Rural areas.

Priorities should be to put the people first and ensure that they can raise and grow all the food they need. Drinking water needs to be treated to avoid water-borne illnesses. The next priorities should address building power plants to support their manufacturing needs and provide jobs. The goal is to produce everything they consume. Each country needs to match imports with exports to avoid Trade Deficits. Countries with no Oil Assets need to import oil and should refine the oil themselves with their own Refinery to save costs.

The World Bank gives the best advice. The UN gives the worse advice.
