发帖数: 1 | 1 Why Are Indian Reservations So Poor? A Look At The Bottom 1%
At a time when there’s a spotlight on America’s richest 1%, a look at the
country’s 310 Indian reservations — where many of America’s poorest 1%
live — can be more enlightening. To explain the poverty of the reservations
, people usually point to alcoholism, corruption or school-dropout rates,
not to mention the long distances to jobs and the dusty undeveloped land
that doesn’t seem good for growing much. But those are just symptoms.
Prosperity is built on property rights, and reservations often have neither.
They’re a demonstration of what happens when property rights are weak or
non-existent.
