    About this ebook

    Today, with so much know-how existing on this planet, there are still billions of people in extreme poverty. Outside of developed countries, a large part of humanity lives in poverty, and governments of the majority of countries do not know what to do to bring prosperity to the countries they rule. The people who live in poor countries have lost hope and do not know what to do to solve the chronic problem of poverty they live in. These people have accepted poverty as a fact or something they cannot do anything about. The unique solution that many people find is to travel to a rich country and become illegal immigrants.

    But is poverty really a problem nobody can do anything about? Can all the people of the world solve the problem of poverty and live a life characterized by prosperity like the one found in the United States? If you want to know the answer to these two questions, this book is for you.

    In this book, I will describe a brand new economic model that, as you will see, will be able to bring prosperity to any country in the world, and bring the standards of living of the poorest countries in the world today to the standards of the most developed countries in as little as fifteen years. So hold your breath and read this book, and you will see how I leave no stone unturned when proposing a new economic model that will be able to put an end to poverty in the world within our lifetime; culminating in the establishment of a perfect society on earth; a society where reigns harmony, peace and love.

    Jean-Pierre Twagirayezu

    I, Jean-Pierre Twagirayezu, was born in Rwanda, Africa, in 1967. I attended a high school called College Saint-Andre located in Kigali, the capital of Rwanda, from 1981 to 1987. In high school, my majors were mathematics and physics. I followed an extensive course of mathematics and physics for six years, and many courses I took were college level. After high school, I went to college in Cuba, where I majored in telecommunication engineering. In Cuba, I attended a university called ISAICC from September 1987 to July 1988 and learned Spanish there. From September 1988 to May 1990 I attended a university called ISPJAE. In college I took extensive courses in mathematics and physics related to engineering. I was unable to finish my degree because of an illness, and I returned to Rwanda in 1991. In 1994, I left Rwanda because of the civil war, and I was admitted as a permanent resident of the United States in 1995. Today I still live in United States, in the state of Virginia. My main hobbies are music-mostly pop, rock, and reggae, but I also enjoy all kinds of music. I love sports, especially Ping-Pong, soccer, tennis, volleyball, and basketball. I also enjoy cartoon's humor as well as movies in the genres of comedy, action, science fiction and drama.

      ABOUT THE AUTHOR

      INTRODUCTION

      Today the countries of the world can be divided into two main groups. The first group is composed of those often called developed or industrialized countries. The people living in these developed countries have a high degree of entrepreneurship, and they create all kind of companies that give high-paying jobs to the population. Agriculture is highly mechanized and uses modern technology, which greatly increases productivity. In these developed countries almost all children have access to education until at least high-school level, and the students who are very motivated can attend university. These countries are also characterized by the availability of health care covering the majority of the population. A great majority of the population in these countries lives in cities. Although some of these developed countries experience a higher level of unemployment, the majority of the population in them live in conditions of relative prosperity.

      The second group of countries is comprised of countries often referred to as developing or third-world countries. These countries missed the industrial revolution that stated in Western countries in the eighteenth century, and industries are still almost nonexistent in them. The vast majority of the population lives in the countryside, where they subsist by growing crops or breeding domestic animals on small family landholdings. The population of these countries is locked in poverty because the land they exploit is too small, and it hardly permits them to produce enough food to feed their families. In these countries only a small portion of all the children are able to attend high school, and a very small minority are able to attend university. Besides farming, some very small businesses that mainly consist of small boutiques, and the relatively few government positions, very few other jobs exist. The majority of the population has limited access to modern health care, and these countries are also characterized by a high level of infant mortality. Roads are in very poor condition, and very few of them are paved. A great number of people live in extreme poverty, in cramped housing without running water or electricity.

      THE VICIOUS CIRCLE OF POVERTY

      The majority of the populations in developing countries are farmers, who subsist by exploiting the meager land they own. These farmers are uneducated, and they practice farming using rudimentary techniques. Because they exploit small plots and don’t use modern techniques of farming, such as using fertilizers and pesticides to combat crop diseases or selecting the most productive breeds of their domestic animals, these farmers are hardly able to produce enough to feed their families, and they take what little surplus remains to the market. These farmers stay poor for their whole lives, and because they have little income, they have limited buying power.

      When an entrepreneur starts a factory, for example, only a tiny portion of the population, perhaps 5 percent, will be able to buy regularly what that factory produces. This factory will have a very small market for the product it makes; this will keep the factory small and enable it to employ only a few people. Also, this factory will have to pay very low wages to its employees in order to be able to make products that will be affordable for the population. Since any factory that is created in a developing country has to be small and pay very low wages to its employees, such a factory will hardly be able to address the problems of unemployment and poverty. This is because it cannot employ many people, and the few people it employs earn very low wages and continue to have low buying power. Some countries try to attract foreign companies looking for cheap labor and interested in producing goods for export. But because these foreign companies are looking for cheap labor, this means that they also will pay low wages to those they employ, and these people will never get ahead in this case as well and will remain poor.

      When the government wants to undertake any project, like building a road or a hospital, bringing clean water to a remote region of the country, building a school, etc., it must rely on loans from the IMF or the World Bank, which carry very high interest. But because of the chaos and corruption existing in these countries, they are never able to repay their loans, and this further burdens their economies. The government cannot collect enough taxes from the population, and thus it has very little revenues. Except for certain developing countries which export some
