Maybe Canada is much better. Paul Romer must think so:

The World Needs More Canada — Marginal Revolution:

"With the near unanimous support of its Congress, Honduras recently defined a new legal entity: la Región Especial de Desarrollo. A RED is an independent reform zone intended to offer jobs and safety to families who lack a good alternative; officials in the RED will be able to partner with foreign governments in critical areas such as policing, jurisprudence and transparency. By participating, Canada can lead an innovative approach to development assistance, an approach that tackles the primary roadblock to prosperity in the developing world: weak governance."

Interesting idea. Canadian outposts sprinkled around the world as exemplars.

You calling me a Luddite, Peracles? I used the phrase "CD players" because I have five devices that can play CDs. They all do other things as well. The oldest one can even play 45s! OK, maybe I actually am a Luddite.
