The Economy in Orosi

This can be stated simply: it is in bad shape. It tried to be an Adventure location (really!) but failed at that.

Its economy is tied directly to that of Cartago, which is in bad shape also. And to Costa Rica as a whole. Which is having trouble fittimg into the World economy.

It benefitted greatly from its Revolution of 1947, that most Ticos have forgotten in their rush to embrace Evangelicalism.

Its legislature adopted the latest Trade agreement (sponsored by the US).eagerly, without giving it much thought. Its purpose was to make the Rich richer, and to ignore everyone else.

They should ba asking themselves "What skills do we have to offer to the World economy?" The traditional answer Coffee and Bananas is not good enough.

Amazon has opened an office in Costa Rica, its slogan was on a Tee Shirt worn by an attractive young woman "Your Work is Important" (in English). It is expanding its Online retail business to Latin America, and Costa Rica looks like a good place to start.

This is one area where Costa Rica could join the World economy: Computers. But it does not seem aware of this opportunity. It would not have to start big, it could pick a school district, give it  computers, show them how to code, and provide scholarships, so some students could study in the US, learn English. and bring back its expertise.

But there is not the slightest sign that this is happening. It is not aware of the most fundamental change that is happening to the Global economy!

It needs to be smart, but it is stupid.
