I've always wondered, what if the USA reinvested massively in Liberia? Infrastructure, education, medical etc. Bring everything in Liberia up to American standards?

So let's spitball. Instead of telling us why it can't happen, what would need to happen to make this type of experiment successful?

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ etc etc

And time. But, a change in culture would also have to take place. All of the $$$ in the world and loads of time would not make much difference in Saudi Arabia (and, population growth there has countered the influence of oil $$ in raising the middle class).
