Santo Domingo.- The historian Frank Moya Pons on Tuesday said despite the country’s tremendous economic and population growth over the past 50 years neither the state nor society itself has been able to produce the necessary resources to cover the social debt the shift has generated, such as the demand for education, health and public services.

The also president of the Dominican Academy of History said Dominican society moves towards a social development model similar to Mexico and India, taking into account the size differences, which groups vastly rich, modern and internationalized elites, and productive economies with large middle classes but producing poor so fast that state cannot meet the needs of its  population.

"This has been a capitalist revolution that has left behind him a number of debts, debts environmental, health and education, now the Dominican society will have to see how it is organized to catch up and pay this debt," he said

 Moya, interviewed by elcaribe.com.do, stressed that the country’s enormous growth in the last 50 years has also been very costly, and in his view with few benefits.

 He said as the result of the population growth and the state’s inefficiency to attend its needs a large number of entities had to be created, citing the Skin Rehab Center, Institute for the Blind, Institute for the Deaf, Institute of Diabetes, among others.

He added that many others private institutions have been establish to fill a void for services the government should provide, and called them the large debts accumulated by the capitalist revolution.
