Making the poor productive - social philosophy in the 1980s

It is more fun criticizing

It was the in thing in social philosophy while I was taking my masters.  My professor was the Dean, an American Jesuit.

It simply means that rather than teaching mendicancy, we train poor people to be productive, achievers, positive mindset, rather than being clingy and dependent.  Down with welfare state.  Welfare state
have failed, and even oil rich country like Venezuela could not sustain a welfare state.  It resulted in bloated budget, and hyper inflation and a failed economy

The state is a Daddy of human beings in the country.    It is the responsibility of individual to raise and feed his family.

This is a critique of 4ps program in the govt.  The beneficiaries no longer want to work.

I often lecture young ones who apparently look healthy begging. I ask for their fathers and they should ask their fathers for money.   We discourage hard work ambition and good citizenship by giving alms to strong young people.   Big countries experienced hardship and hardwork on their way to progress.  Make no mistake about that

How to make a country rich video  -  Bangladesh.  Not by way of resources but being tops in garment production.   One of most populated countries in the world.  Gained independence in 1972.  Even richer than Pakistan
