I live in Thailand now and the wealth is everywhere. The new airport is nothing short of spectacular. Thousands of billions of dollars. Why are some countries in SE Asia super rich while others are very poor? I can see that plain stupidity and ignorance from the population could be a cause, but is it only because of that?

I don't know for Japan, but for Thailand it must be because they are better to cheat other countries. They want and like other countries to see them as poor. But they have money enough. Just look the cars in Bangkok.......tons of Mercedes, Bmw, Lexus

I believe it has a lot to do with freedom, property right and free enterprise (rich) as well as communism and dictatorship (poor). In communism, there is no need to try hard because you will be treated and fed the same with the other guys. The dictator or his people can simply take things and money from you.
