Somalia Better Off Stateless

[Jesteye]

Can you name one major institutional Infrastructure Somalia's Revolutionary Council (SRC) build without Donors help? SRC lack of institutional planning and Development achievement helps Pro-anarchism argue rationally Somalia is better off Stateless.

"Could anarchy be good for Somalia's development? If state predation goes unchecked government may not only fail to add to social welfare, but can actually reduce welfare below its level under statelessness. Such was the case with Somalia's government, which did more harm to its citizens than good. The government's collapse and subsequent emergence of statelessness opened the opportunity for Somali progress. This paper uses an event study to investigate the impact of anarchy on Somali development. The data suggest that while the state of this development remains low, on nearly all of 18 key indicators that allow pre- and post-stateless welfare comparisons, Somalis are better off under anarchy than they were under government. Renewed vibrancy in critical sectors of Somalia's economy and public goods in the absence of a predatory state are responsible for this improvement."

proof if you ever needed that all the education in the world will not give you common sense. Someone tell this idiot to go to somalia and check it out.

My only explanation is that he's either clueless or enjoys anarchy because it benefits him

Common sense?!

The man is using rational anarchy argument, and yes, Somalia is better off Stateless. Because the SRC Government achieved very little.

I totally agree. Somali needs federal Government.

If Sheikh shariif declares Unitary Government, Somaliland, Puntland And GalMudug State will probably breakaway from Somalia. Somalia needs something similar to Federal government of the United States.
