1995moz··on Why Isn’t the Whole World Rich?
You can make the whole world not poor (and quite a few people not as rich as they are). Solution is simple - allow free movement of goods, services AND people.

This discussion very well captures the feeling I still vaguely remember from back then. PS: I forgot to pay off in time and I had to pay the full accumulated interest along with penalty at the end of the 18 months. Expensive lesson.
