the leading and ubiquitous untapped raw resource
is of course naked skill less labor power
make a zone that's as good as one of jack's barges
the various unemerged regimes need to build
export production zones EPZs
ala china in the 80's
task
grab pieces of the global production chain
by selling the labor power necessary to lure in MNCs
to a zone of production free of the usual costs of location
okay
the exchange rate has to be fiddled
the ground rent rebated and the wages subsidized
but a careful calculation i suspect will reveal
this is a very high return social investment
only rivaled by training brains for export
coastal proximity for now seems essential
land locked nations like nepal
might look into labor intensive but non skill intensive production processes too
but transport in and out looks to be a tough call cost wise eh ?
unless trans national container rail gets cooking round there
eritrea might be perfect
the orignal NEP paradigm
included MNC collaborations
but not of this kind
today the production systems are trans border operations
yes this is pure race to the bottom stuff
but the alternative is stagnation under employment
crop commodities
and stark natural resource extractions
what if you haven't got that kinda mojo ?
besides industrial product chains are less price labile then commodity markets
or even resource markets
and both require investments in infra structure not necesary for labor intensive
littoral located low energy need industrial production
ie
assembly
sweat shop stuff
but under a worker /peasant government
ground rents could be transfered to under paid EPZ wage earners
