Well, you always have to take into consideration whether or not the place is in a good financial state and there are five different stages that a country will go through when it comes to growth and development. A lot of countries cannot afford to grow and develop due to varies factors like lack of industrialization, lack of fanacialy stable people in the country, unstable government. In places like America we have the freedom to start our own businesses and grow as individuals and when we have that we start to create new ideas which lead to new inventions and growth of the country. other countries dont have that and due to that the creativity and growth is suppressed along with the lack of finances which lead to slower development.
