Costa Rica has 97% literacy. Their largest export if computer chips. They have universal health care. They have a thriving tourist industry. They have no military to spend millions of dollars on.
Yet every time I look out the window, I see tiny little houses and shanties.
By my reckoning, they are doing just about everything right, but I'm having trouble seeing how the progress that is being made reaches the vast majority of the people.
No easy answers, indeed.
