Exporting is also a key focus in this book. Armenia should not pride itself on things like internal telecommunications or power plant productions unless that company is going to xxxxing build stuff in foreign countries and earn export dollars. We can do it in pharma and agriculture.

--- exporting key (in this book) ---
I understand what you are saying and the agreement you express of this book and the exporting point.
I don't really agree with that.
The small farms by ** many ** and the govt funding of such points to the profitability of a less efficient move. It's almost contradictory to standard profit model but is highly beneficial to country as a whole.
The goal of having something to export fits nicely with big business model and new world order.
My opine is we and world at large need (really need) to look beyond the model presented by IMF and their ilk.
Wealth expressed as only money or something to export ignores the well being of the vast citizenry. This phony definition of wealth states that only can success be had if you use the standard IMF/cohorts proscribed model (agenda). I disagree.
If you play with the devil, chances are your gonna get forked.
We need to look outside that contrived box.
I'm not saying we shouldn't export stuff. I'm saying it's possible to export without standard profit model to the great benefit of our citizens and the world citizenry.
Pursue the benefits and not necessarily the dollars expressed as profit. It's the meritous goal to be pursued, not always monetary profit. The monetary system is rife with fraud and misleading in its pursuit.
Sorry, but everyone wants to be rich. How sad. Every country wants to be rich. How dumb.
What is success ? How do you define it ? Like trump, USA, IMF, ?
