Development traps

This looks like an important book and here's a helpful summary of what it says. Shapevine Missional Training And Learning Resources: "at the bottom the villains have the guns and the money and they usually prevail. With hard work, thrift, and intelligence a society can climb out of poverty unless it gets trapped. The four big traps are 1) conflict, 2) natural resources, 3) being landlocked (with bad neighbors), and 4) bad governance."
