Slumdogs

Generally it is hard to argue against really smart people.

But:

"The deeper problem, widely recognised but seldom addressed, is how to free people from bad rules. I floated a provocative idea. Instead of focusing on poor nations and how to change their rules, we should focus on poor people and how they can move somewhere with better rules. One way to do this is with dozens, perhaps hundreds, of new “charter cities,” where developed countries frame the rules and hundreds of millions of poor families could become residents."

-- Paul Romer

Ah! Poor developing country people, they cannot be trusted with developed-country business such as Rules...!
