Can we reverse the advantage?
Just noticed something BASIC about the broad divisions of humanity.
Going back 5000 years, you can always identify a few essential occupations. The essentials have split into specialties but the types are constant and innate.
1. Warrior ( = soldier, chief, executive...)
2. Healer ( = doctor, priest, teacher...)
3. Farmer ( = mechanic, engineer...)
4. Trader ( = merchant, banker...)
= = = = =
WAIT. Those four ancient types are constant in mid latitudes, from China to India to Babylon to Phoenicia to Greece to Rome. The Silk Road people, defined ABOVE ALL by trading.
The northern tribes, from Russia to Eskimos to Celts to all of the Americas, had the first 3 but not the Trader type. Same for Africa. They never developed abstract money or merchants or bankers. Russia is still short on the merchant tendency, which is why socialism worked there.
When trader tribes interact with non-trader tribes, the trader tribes are usually able to cheat the non-traders. We have plenty of stories left over from the interactions of trader Spain with non-trader Incas, or trader England with non-trader Algonquin types. (Manhattan for $24.)
In modern times, we have the
disputes between trader Hindus and non-trader Africans in big cities. Or the
interaction between trader Jews on the coasts vs non-trader Celts (hillbillies) in inland USA.
When the interaction is based on trade, the innate trader tribes always win. Non-trader tribes can
learn commerce, but we never master it at the same level as the innate traders.
If non-traders are going to survive, we need to use our strong points to gain an advantage over the traders.
Celts and Russians are especially strong in the farmer/mechanic area. Sputnik showed how Russian engineers could grab the advantage from USA STRONG traders.
Africans are strong in the warrior and
priest areas. MLK Boulevard and JesseJackson used African priestly talents backed by a credible threat of African warrior talents to gain advantage over USA STRONG traders.

A proposed solution.
