    Vietnam is actually really good, as far as middle-income countries without functional democracy go.

    But a high proportion of the workforce engaged in agriculture is not a good thing. Though I don’t think that 70% number is correct regardless. I think it’s considerably lower (which is better for Vietnam).

      Everyone should at least have a garden of their own and the path to that is in home ownership being available to everyone.
