Very nicely stated, Richard.

Hmmm, I thought it was a bit long winded and sort of lost track at
the per capita part.  In my politically incorrect world it seems a
large part of the problem is those darned capitas.  The third world
produces so many of them it messes up the whole per thing.  In first
world public school we were beaten senseless with the "no more than 2.1
per" mantra.  But following that rule in the first world, and not in
the 3rd leads to an even greater imbalance between the per capitas.
I think that's the real reason for all the really nasty problems, but
I don't know how to fix it.
