[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Being socially conservative (aka repressive & oppressive) is what keeps them developing rather than developed. Places that keep women and minorities and the poor down are inherently anti-intellectual and resistant to modernization in any form. They intentionally lag behind economically as well as culturally. It’s not just a developing country thing - think about Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, much of Appalachia. What is it that holds them back? [/quote] Depends on what you consider Appalachia, but globalization is what annihilated parts of Ohio & Pennsylvania. [/quote] Because they hadn’t modernized or diversified their labor-intensive manufacturing economies while the world changed. Those old manufacturing jobs were lost to technology more than to globalization. Pittsburgh successfully transitioned to finance, health, education economies to go with modernized manufacturing.
