It is really unfortunate to know of Goans, actively engaging is the large scale of Goan Land to outsiders, to realise a life of luxury for themselves and their families. It is a well known fact that capitalism cannot be allowed an in-discriminate spree; to affect the land & local populace negatively. Mario observes: Arwin, India and China tried socialism for 50 wasted years and have both thrown it on the thrash heap of history where it belongs, and their economies have been booming since. The problem in Goa is not capitalism but corruption, mindless bureaucracy, tax cheating and black money which are all holdovers from the era of socialism. There is little likelyhood of returning to an era where a few elites thought they knew what was good for everyone else, better than they did. By the way, the countries that have rejected capitalism are N. Korea, Cuba, Zimbabwe, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Bolivia and a few other countries, and all of them are economic basket cases and oppressive dictatorships.
