Good read, sent it to my Kindle. It was the CIA who messed up that country in the modern era. Glad they found oil and now have insane GDP growth. Hope they don't ruin the Amazon rainforest nearby. Hope the racial tensions ease down and infrastructure is built up, so I can visit one day.

Guyana has weak political institutions and high corruption & tribalism. It’s more likely to become a poor resource-cursed nation than a successful one.

I truly hope this isn’t the case, but if history teaches us a lesson..

What country on earth is strong on protection from corruption and tribalism? Point out the country and I'll point out the nature of the above.

It’s unfortunately not that simple for poor countries to benefit from resources

What method do you use to send articles like this to your kindle?

Not OP but converting the page to PDF in reading mode (with Firefox) then using Amazon's sendtokindle[0] feature yielded decent results. Now I just use an e-reader that can read PDFs natively.
