The problem with this New York Times article is it misses the point that the reason there are garbage dumps and no factory jobs is that a industrial economy was imposed on a pre-industrial economy. People digging through dumps for 2 generations is prima facie evidence of bad government. Pol Pot hated it so much he, like Hitler, decided to destroy it all.
Property rights are a feature of natural law. Industrialization (factories) is not necessarily the way to go. Whatever way is best cannot be known without propoerty rights respected. To do so, governments must stay out.
