I read once about particularly shitty countries warming up to the idea of ceding part of their sovereignty to private institutions, like companies or entrepreneurs, which would then run that part of the country and not the government.

The idea being that some countries are just SO FUCKED UP that only radical ideas can save them.

One such radical idea is letting rich white dudes take control and rape your resources. If it creates a safer, stable country... isn't it worth a shot?

We have to accept the reality that some places are beyond help, at least according to traditional ideas. Severely corrupt and dangerous places mean that people - young children and women - are dying and starving.

I say let the West give it a shot.
