That Ajay person’s biggest talking point is the dramatic increase in per capita GDP. Well, Botswana’s average life expectancy fell from 60 to 35 in that period owing to AIDS. With diamonds being the source of their wealth, it’s only obvious that per capita GDP goes up.
There must be some great Economics thing I don’t know or that Ajay Shah must really be a moron.

You are trying too hard.

What’s the stupidity in the AIDS-life-expectancy argument?
Others have said the same thing (with plenty of authoritative data references).

VK, please read carefully. I am not denying that AIDS reduces life expectancy.
