Compared with most citizens of the Third World countries, and with many in the First World, Libyans have it very good indeed. The streets of Tripoli are filled with privately-owned late model cars. Modern apartment complexes are going up everywhere making the city look like one huge construction site. Any Libyan who wants to become a farmer is given free use of land, a house, farm equipment, some livestock and seed. Today, Libya can boast one of the finest health care systems in the Arab world.
All people have access to doctors, hospitals, clinics and medicines, completely free of all charges.
This is all the more remarkable when we consider that in 1951 Libya was officially the poorest country in the world. Today all Libyans own their own homes and cars. Libyans now earn more per capita than the British. Libya's wealth has been fairly spread throughout society. Every Libyan has a job and a decent salary.
