A Common Paradox in the Third World

How does a third world country as poverty stricken as Haiti bring in foreign investors to rebuild its economy while it remains unsafe and unstable under a non-existent economy?

It comes down to a difficult question - Which came first, the crime and poverty or the lack of foreign investors? What came first is usually the destruction of a society by a colonial power, but now in that aftermath, with out a safe environment for investors to bring in capital, foreign investors will not be willing to invest. Without investors, a safe environment prepped for re-stabilization cannot be created.

So what does a country like Haiti do? As much as it needs humanitarian aid from non-profits, it also needs cold hard cash to jump-start its economy from those with profit-focused minds.

Bill Clinton and the United Nations visited Haiti this week on a special convoy to increase investor confidence in the region. With an unemployment rate of over 70 percent there is a job force that needs these jobs, Haiti now needs revolutionary capitalists that are brave enough to tap into its resources.
