GOD'S PROVISION FOR EVERYONE
at the last meeting of the G8 this past July, some of the world's leading countries made forgiving the debt of some developing countries a priority. The discussion in the media at that time again highlighted that on a global level the problem is not lack of resources but the poor distribution of those resources. This is also a big problem in many individual countries.
At the heart of the discussion lies the question of what constitutes resources. Traditionally, people have seen these as natural resources—oil, bauxite, paperor lumber-producing forests, for example. But increasingly around the world we are seeing the key resources as more mental in nature.
For example, India, a country not rich in natural resources, has become a hotbed of software and other computer development. Or consider how, with tremendous energy, the people of Hong Kong have attracted investment and created wealth while having virtually no natural resources.
