b) Japan, after WWII achieved excellence through strong political leadership and education not the foreign aid

VI) How to achieve economic stability then?

+ two more points which I cant remember

VII) Conclusion:
a) Economic stability is the bread and butter of any nation
b) Masters of nations are needed and not the slaves of foreigners to achieve economic stability
Read this book(albeit only the introduction for this topic), Christ Candland-Labor, Democratization and Development in India and Pakistan (Routledge Contemporary South Asia) (2008), the introduction of the book is about the importance of foreign aid depending upon the internal structure of the economy i.e., the IMF programs in the 70's and 80's regarding the restructuring of the economy and how it has shaped the new world, specifically the subcontinent. The more you read, the more you will know that foreign aid is not that bad that it seems to be.
Hopefully, I am not too late.
