    IMO it's the same reason westerners can't create working utilities, mass transit and medical systems in their own countries. The western political establishment is chained to their ideological view of how money and power work, a pragmatic approach to these things would be in direct contradiction with their idealised view of how markets operate.

    Essentially, to remove the debt traps and exploitation from their programs would be a tacit admission that these things exist in the first place.
