Shmack, come on. If you were born in Somalia, you would be poor too. Whatever how hard working you have to be.
There is a huge "luck" factor. If you are born in a region where there is wealth, where there is knowledge... You can build a powerful group/society. You are not completely independent.
And no, you cant compare Libya with Turkey. Libya knew the horrors of colonialism. While Turkey never did. Colonialism destroys a large part of their history, their pride etc... These people lost centuries of knowledge in colonialism. Look at the average turkish man, look at his pride, look how he knows what he wants... Do you think that the people who were colonized have these things?
In Rwanda they are still killing each others because of the confusion built by the colonial era.
To make good tanks (as an example), it takes generations and generations of research. And tons of ressources. Money, metal, oil, etc...
And dont tell me that the whole mankind have the same resources. Because it's not.
Rich countries are lucky countries. Of course, I would never say that the man is powerless... He have the power to change his destiny, look at Japan. Destroyed after the war, a small country with low natural resources, but they built an empire, and rebuilt it in half a century.
But there is a little luck factor.
You know, in natural selection, we acknowledge the luck factor. Let's say that you are a superior animal, a wonderful predator, wonderfully skilled... But... You are in a desert, and you find no female of your kind to reproduce...
So? what will happen? You will die alone, and you will disappear from the surface of earth. Because you were unlucky.
