New Title, Old Blog

This blog is being redone as thesis reasearch and a way to keep me accountable to posting here and continuing reseraching on my end. The premise of the thesis is this:

Increased spending into transportation infrastructure (specifically roads) will have a more immediate GDP impact, which will also positively impact per capita income and will in turn lead to higher standards of living and more democratic states.

A fair amount of research has been done by the people over at freedomhouse.org and within other political journals that per capital income above $10,000/year greatly increases democratic practices. I'm a little more interested on the human development side of things, but democratic states also tend to have better human rights and resources.

There has not been a lot of research on this topic, but there is a literature review for this thesis. It will be posted in the coming days.

Enjoy, and happy discussions.
