Why are rich countries rich and poor countries poor?

[SovPara]

It's a complicated mix of
economic freedoms (free market is best)
education (where music and art is emphasized, is best)
parental mental health (hard to get extricated to succeed when you parents are needy children or worse)
weather (hot countries produce lethargy)
good nutrition (underrated benefit to high IQ's)
peace/war (build up or tear down local civilization counts)
type of currency (I predict first adopters of Crypto will move ahead of other countries)

The rich country knows what is the strategy on how their country becomes richest they know how to handle situation and the poor country country becomes poorer because they became slave of the richest country they always follow what they say. How can poor become rich if they willing to became slave of other country?

It is not necessary for the poor to become slaves of the rich in order to survive. They need to admit that the income disparity will always be there and they need to work together with the rich people to improve their lives.

I agree. Rich countries utilize their money to build infrastructures that will help the citizens as well as attract foreigners to invest in their country and to develop things that they have to. Poor countries use their money in building infrastructures but is overpriced which leads to corruption instead of developing the country for the benefit of all.

I tried to analyze the richest countries and the poorest countries, why this horrific discrepancy in living condition is happening. And come up with an answer,  IQ and Culture. The poorest countries were also the lowest in the average IQ per country and their culture were not prepared to for this new industrialized way of life. Most of this countries are recently industrialized. They were mostly hunter gatherers or farmers who only gather/plant food for their self and family. They have no love for their country and other people.

While those richest countries have very high average IQ's . It is also embedded in their culture to work hard, persevere, love of their country, to trust and help other people. I think that made them successful.

It is because of the system of economy , some cases of this is brain drain people are migrating to other country to find job and seek a higher profit to provide there family necessities, they don't want to seek job to there country because of lack of profit and they cannot provide the needs of themselves.

Rich countries are rich because there decide to the right thing at the right time. Most poor countries remains poor because they fail to get their priorities right. Rich countries focused on getting their priorities right while poor countries are busy looting and laundering their chances. It's all about comparative advantage. And the rich countries know how to harness this.

All right, it is a natural process, if you are not a poor then how can you define a rich person to others. rich countries always want to dominate in the poor countries by creating different types of social crisis, many African countries are the real example of this scenario. to collect Diamond and Gold developed countries formed favorable parties to gain huge resources by investing a low amount of money...

Well I think the reason is simple, just imagine those countries who are rich and mineral but is not capable of take advantage
of what they have because of being financial unstability. That's where rich coutries come in, they usually fund those coutries
to take out those poor countries mineral and profit from it, leaving the poor country with less profit.

If they have the right type of leaders, then even poor countries can become prosperous. One example is that of Somaliland. That country is much more prosperous than Somalia, despite having hardly any natural resources which can be exploited.

Yes , it depends how the leaders in a country rule and runs his society and its up to the support of the people around him if many will cooperate then a big change will happen .

It is exactly as it is supposed to be there are countries with resources and there are countries without resources those without resources end up with nothing to sell nothing to trade

[Sweetbtc]

Also nothing to have this is the way the world works with people within their society and without Society works in the countries and it works in the cities and it works in the individuals

[Sadlife]

One of the primary reasons are corruption those people are usually politicians that are tyrants and implementing some laws to exploit people in order to steal their money this unnecessary laws are designed so that it's easier to control us while we all working our ass off their just in there office sitting comfortable doing some million dollar of bidding projects and the fund for that project will get snached and no one will ever know and project will only get sub materials. I think people should choose their leaders more wisely.

[motiar]

Rich countries are rich because they are very industrious and they develop in science and technology like that they make the best use of it. on the other hand the poor countries people cannot develop in science and technology and also they cannot get proper education for that they are poor.

History, Climate, Corruption and natural resourses.

I think reallifelore did a video about this a while ago, they said that natural resources (i.e. more is bad) and corruption allows a small minority to screw over the majority is poor countries.
That means the rich don't need the poor, so they stay very poor. Many of the richest people in the world are from the poorest countries though.

[salinizm]

Poor countries are being explioted by Rich countries. By this way, Rich countiries are getting richer and richer. If impecunious contries had a chance to use their natural assets for their own sake, they would obviously be the richest countries on earth.

[dali_masmoudi]

I think it is due to the second World war, which made the poor, poor and the rich, rich.
The west as they said are stealing the naturel resources of the poor countries in order to benefit from it and to sell it with an expensive price.
For example : Petrol form Lybia, Gold from Mali, Ivory from Ivory coast ... etc

[jojowar]

I think because of the leaders they had..Leaders of the rich countries have concern in the welfare of their countrymen..Leaders of the poor countries concern in the welfare of themselves..
