How To Screw Up Your Economy

Step 1: Elect a socialistic nutjob to run your country, who mouths all the usual neo-Communist platitudes about "the people" and exploitation, the evil geedy capitalists, etc.

Step 2: Actively discourage foreign investment while pretending to be protecting your resources. (Actually, you're just shaking them down - a keltocacy, if you will.)

Then step back, and watch the money come rolling in - for about a month. Then watch it stop. And watch your country starve.
