25-30 the US was still riding the post WWII wave where most developed countries where still rebuilding. 30 yrs ago, honda, toyota, datsun cars where not very common. Fast forward 25-30 years - former third world countries - India, singapore, thailand are educated. They are building technology and infrastrucutre, they are competeing in the global marketplace. Those countries were colonies of european nations 60+ yrs ago. Think about the competition the country needs to contend with?
