...„Germany 200 years ago“: I was not talking about the industrialists vs. working class when I was talking about almost equally powerful. Probably I should have said: Not such a huge gap between the involved parties. First I think it is not appropriate to compare these two situations. Because in the case study you can nominate precisely at least one involved party: the company - it will have only benefits out of the deal. On the other side you have well yes the local population, the government and so on - and there are as we see a wide range of benefits and negative impacts. “Back in the days” there were on both sides more parties involved - and it is as well harder to tell the results for them. But and that is the main point - the profit on the one side at least stayed in the country. But - you already named it-: The long-term result was the development of an upper and a working class. Because the money stayed it the country - there was a development for the society and indirectly for the working class as well. For our case study this would mean: There will be a (further) development in a global upper class and a working class. But the benefit for the working class (= through development for the society) would fail to appear because there is a foreign company - their profits would not stay near to the copper mine. Probably this wasn’t very clear big grin I still think it is hard to compare these two examples. .. | |||

...Jule, I think it is not naive to think that mining would bring prosperity into the country. Usually it does - creates jobs for the locals and finances flow in there too. For instance your first example Angola - there were extreme conditions of civil war in the country, so it's not very usual situation. | ...Jule, I think it is not naive to think that mining would bring prosperity into the country.
