not know the ins and outs of this system suffer its weight while being the driving force.
Perpetual underdevelopment in Africa and in most of the southern hemisphere is not a passing crisis, but a crisis system to which some people are ingenious in manipulating the masses over responsibilities. Underdevelopment kills, it is one of the deadliest phenomena that has ever existed. Misery being the mother of all vices, how many die for lack of primary health care? And how many take the perilous paths of exile, when wars in general are rooted in the deterioration of the standard of living and the predation of Western powers that until proven otherwise, are the largest purveyors of arms to these underdeveloped regions?
In a void determinism, some have often accused nature of having been ungrateful with the underdeveloped countries or over abundant towards stupid peoples, who do not know how to exploit their riches. However, the truth is more complex.
According to Montesquieu, in the spirit of the laws published in the 18th century. Far from being reduced to a determinism that would forever condemn people to poverty, it is rather important to define the order behind the diversity of manners and the ways of governing. Even if the climate has a direct influence on the temperament and character of the individuals, if the disposition to work, for example, is linked to the climate, specific institutional measures can remedy this. Montesquieu writes: "That the bad legislators are those who favored the climate vices, and the good ones are the ones who opposed it.
" It is thus always possible to orient the paths traced by nature differently.
The climates and the reliefs have in general nothing to do with the development it is rather the setting up of the appropriate policies of development, which changes the deal. So, the problem is not at the level of natural regions, but of States or human regions.
The annals of history prove that, tropical, Mediterranean, or equatorial regions managed to develop in not always perfect environments, for the simple reason that the system governing their economies was different. Indeed in an environment where there was no Western predation, civilizations such as that of ancient Egypt, the Maya and Inca in Latin America, or the empire of Mali, managed to develop, in areas that may have been damaged over time, but the main damage is sometimes attributed to the Western predation system, such as slavery, colonization, uncontrolled exploitation of forest species, and destruction of the environment, natural pollution, or the creation of hydroelectric dams to supply factories that contribute to the extractive economy of underdeveloped countries.
Agricultural and then urban civilization first appeared in Africa, the Middle East, India, China, Andean or Central America, in short, in many of the countries where current underdevelopment prevails. Economic progress is dependent on the advancement of profit-oriented techniques of populations of the regions involved, and not on the level of technology of the exogenous forces exploiting the said regions. Societies measure their progress primarily in terms of their ability to dominate, and to use natural factors, to humanize and rationalize the development of the physical environment.
From a perspective where farm investments are only for the profit of debt-producing countries, it is a vicious circle in which Africa, Asia, Caribbean and Pacific countries languish. Since the beginning of the scheme of exploitation and enslavement crowned by the control of the World Bank which imposes the sectors of investment of the exploited countries, the figures prove that more than 8 times the amount of the debt of underdeveloped countries at the
