Social infrastructure
“A country’s social infrastructure is what
sets the economic environment within
which its citizens accumulate skills and
businesses accumulate capital, both of
which are needed to create additional
value.”
In assessing the social infrastructure, one
would ask…
Is it difficult to acquire/gain knowledge in the
country?
How profitable is it to do
business in the country?
It distorts
the way the government uses its money, too.
Ways to improve social infrastructure
i. Promote leadership that values competence
more than loyalty
3. A competent, corruption-intolerant
government administration committed to
reform and transformation.
