Would you a. attempt to develop your country and attempt to make it "first world", no matter how difficult it may be, or b. just not give a shit and use state resources to enrich yourself and your allies while 90% of the population lives in squalor?
Personally, I don't blame the dictators of some hopeless shitholes like those in Africa or Central America for being so callous. Without the necessary human capital, promoting your country to a second world, let alone a first world country is a hopeless endeavor, no matter how much you invest in infrastructure. In my opinion, the money is much better spent on maximizing profits from the export of natural resources and upgrading the state security apparatus to crack down on organized crime among the unwashed masses and maintain stability.
