Why can't The Dominican Republic seem to get out of this funk?
It's resource-rich, picturesque and there's an innate nobility in many that outshines widespread dishonesty and irresponsibility.
Your personal theories, explanations, suggestions, frustrations, hopes, etc., please.
I sense the fatalistic mindset plays an important role. And there's a feeling that it's a place that's been abandoned by its father and chaos reigns. Or maybe it's the heat and humidity. Or it's just the victim of lop-sidedness in geopolitics and the world economy.
What gives?
