The litigiousness point should have been at the top of the list. You can build roadways, but if you constantly have stories in the news of people striking it rich by suing someone, and half the billboards you see in your town is of people telling you they'll help you do it, then it's going to be extremely expensive to employ folks.

It'll be easier to teach folks hard work, it's very difficult to change a culture when 1. A huge sector of our legal system geared towards it 2. People can easily get rich off of it.
