You prefer what suits your argument at the time...

Everybody knows that crime affects GDP.. yuh know how many Tourist would come Jamaica if not for the crime numbers ?

The relevance of you argument however in this discussion is.. well nil.. find another thread to insert your thesis or create one..

That is my advice..

Waste of server space.. we are discussing the DIFFERENCE between the two..

Economic malpractice separates the two.. poor management of the economy leads to lack of opportunity which leads to the pervasiveness of crime.. man haffi eat a food..


You need to work on your comprehension skills.. try and be relevant..

[Muadib]

There is no evidence of JLP Economic Malpractice in any of their administrations since independence.. The PNP have committed it in every Administration since Independence..

Yuh reasoning shallow yuteman. Whatever those numbers represent...they pale in comparison to the real 800 lb Gorilla inna di room...the Babylon Whirl Bank estimated -6% GDP annual haircut caused by JLPNP enabled criminality, corruption and disorder.....over the past 40 years dats about 400% - 500% of GDP

The World Bank identifies three main obstacles to growth in the Jamaican economy: Crime, low human capital and productivity and lopsided fiscal and budget-management practices and policies. Jamaica is clearly following the neoliberal polices being recommended by the World Bank, generally, and on all there areas the Government is committed to reforms. What is interesting is the bank's review of Jamaica's economic performance, beginning in the 1950s. In the 1950s, there was robust growth of approximately six per cent, and in the 1960s, 2.9 per cent.

In the 1970s, growth began to decline, and in the 1980s "economic growth remained poor despite efforts to revitalise the market economy". Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) propaganda notwithstanding.

The World Bank explains that "the statist reform was extremely costly for Jamaica without any clear economic gain, and the market-oriented reversal in the early 1980s took years before beginning to bear fruit." By 1985, real GDP was actually 35 per cent lower than in 1972 - retreating to its 1960 level. GDP growth did accelerate in the second half of the 1980s but, in the past 20 years, real per capita GDP has increased on average only one per cent.

Handing over Jamaica to Chinese and Jews is the solution to Jamaica's problems?. Why didn't you suggest handing over the Constabulary to the Chinese and Jews first and see how they handle that, then we can decide if we should hand over the rest?.

aint self hatred a hell of a ting eeeh

[Reggaedoc]

Simple..do what they did..

Give up prime lands and 'assets' to serious people (Chinese, Jews etc) and come out of the way.. that's if it is not too late..

Well.. maybe not so simple..
