Muitos líderes do Terceiro Mundo destruíram a velha ordem, mas não uma nova.
Porque construir uma nova ordem exigia capacidades diferentes e mais complexas.
Decisões económicas para ter o maior retorno
Conseguiam entusiasmar os seguidores para manter a luta contra o velho regime.
E tinham simplificado demais o que fazer depois que os colonizadores cedessem o poder.
Muitos líderes criam na sua própria retórica,
haveria riqueza de sobra para todos.
E os modelos económicos que admiravam eram socialistas.

Many Third World leaders, who had successfully demolished the old order, failed to build a new one. Because building a new order demanded different and more complex capabilities. Decision-making in economics to achieve the highest returns on capital was not their forte. They could enthuse their followers to keep up the fight against the old regime. And they had oversimplified what needed to be done after the colonisers had handed over power.
Many leaders actually believed their own rhetoric, that once they were rid of their exploiters, there would be wealth aplenty to go around. And the economic models that they admired were socialist.
