I apologize for not making time to post lately, I have had a mind block, in part this is caused by having to be thinking so many ideas at a go and failing to execute them.I suppose you have been in a state where you want to challenge the status quo and you are stuck. Well today I feel better and so here is my post for the week and its going to be one of my longest post since blogging in 2008. My concentration of thinking has been focused on how the government of Botswana is trying to eradicate poverty following the Millineum Development initiative goals and indeed the vision 2016 goals, just this week, the President launched the poverty eradication campaign by calling on all Botswana who have mini businesses to a market where they can sell their products and services. I must say the starting point was fantastic, the market was full of handmade products that were rare and creatively engaging. What is standing is that despite Botswana high rate of economic economic growth over the past two decades, it is unlikely that the country will halve the proportion of people living on, to borrow from the UN poverty measurement phrase, less than a dollar per day by 2016.
These stories of hunger and starvation in the midst of plenty reminds me of my brother who is a consulting engineer who worked endlessly, with devotion and all dedication to this other company for several years, but was paid so little that he wondered why he ever went to school in the first place.He resigned in frustration and anger, only to get a job the next day, to his surprise, earning him more money than he ever imagined( atlaest in Southern Africa terms). By the same token, to which he told me the skewedness of wealth/income distribution.This boils down to the question of whether the government is effectively addressing poverty issues, please allow me to use Dwight R. Lee statements @ http://www.cato.org/pubs/journal/cj5n1/cj5n1-2.pd for i find so much resonance in his argument, you will too. For which he argues, "But even if it is assumed that the market fails to generate a distribution of income that most people find satisfactory, does this justify government programs to promote a more acceptable income distribution? The answer depends crucially on whether or not there are reasons for believing that such government programs will improve matters. If, for example, government welfare programs impose a heavy burden on economic productivity, yet are incapable of changing the distribution of income in a more acceptable direction, then the “failure” of the market with regards to income distribution would provide no justification for government intervention in the market process.Can government welfare programs eradicate poverty and are they sustainable?
