It's a dream. There is something about our luck of being born in a good and wealthy place; then close it off, hence punishing people because they happen to be born in shitty place.
You would probably find Guns, Germs, and Steel [1] quite illuminating.

A good example are the capitalist versus communist countries.
Two sets of countries making different choices and ending up with different results.
I did nothing but be born and follow the path expected off me -- handed reliable and cheap electricity, water, free schooling, internet connection; and lastly great jobs giving my primadonna arse more $$$ than I need. Idk dude, I wouldn't mind taking credit but I'm not being honest.
