Land and Rent Costs to Business make Australia uncompetitive
Why doesn't the government cut land costs? High costs of land, and the resources it carries - energy and water - are responsible for our failing economy.

The greatest costs to workers are the rents they pay for personal accommodation.
How did beautiful, rich, sustainable Haiti become Poor Haiti?
How the tragic situation of Haiti's overpopulation and poverty came about? There were not always 9m hungry people there. When this once rich and beautiful island was discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1492, it was inhabited by a population of about 100,000 Amerindians, living in a steady state economy. The Amerindians refused to mine gold for the Spanish, so the Spanish imported many thousands of slaves from Africa.
