Evil exists in the world, not create despair, but activity. We are not patiently to submit to it, but to exert our selves to avoid it. It is not only the interest but the duty of every individual to use his utmost efforts to remove evil from himself and from as large a circle as he can influence; and the more he exercises himself in this duty, the more successful these efforts are, the more he will probably improve and exalt his own mind, and the more completely does he appear to fulfil the will of his Creator.
The volatility of export earning of countries dependent on primary commodity exports has long been recognizeed as a key source of instability in the economic system. Unless they take strong protective measures, these countries not only experience boom-bust cycles but also tend to find themselves in debt distress and in need of additional aid when commodity prices collapse.
Developing countries that are dependent on exports of commodities with high price volatility need to establish stabilization funds and to otherwise manage their economies to reduce the extent of the boom-bust cycle, invluding by restricting borrowing during the boom phase.
