Privatized and Non-Coercive Foreign Aid
It is a trite bromide in political activist circles; to wit: “Think globally. Act locally.” But from an anarcho-libertarian perspective that is prolly the best way to help others elsewhere in the world though.
I was reading in the LA Times about a Haitian immigrant who works two jobs in Miami and remits most of his earnings to his extended family back home. A one-man charity operation it would seem. And he’s not alone in doing this either. According to the new story Haiti’s second largest source of cash flowing into the private economy (i.e. - not to the government and from a statist entity or NGO) comes from expatriates who remit some or most of their wages.
Bravo! My hat is off to them.
