I've seen a lot of talk on these boards bashing capitalism. I want to remind people that capitalism is was the only moral system of government and it has never been tried completely.
Cough Development Politics
Tell that to all of Latin America who were raped pretty badly by the industrialization process
A system built on the backs of others through monopolization and trade restrictions
That is why they are moving to socialism systems the same with the Chinese who went from Commy --> Socialist because they were subjected to 100 years of shame and exploitation by the Colonial powers, and had to fight very hard to get out of that dependency. (opium wars etc)
Also known as the Global South
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North%E2%80%93South_divide
In economic terms, the North—with one quarter of the world population—controls four fifths of the world income. 90% of the manufacturing industries are owned by and located in the North. Inversely, the South—with three quarters of the world populations—has access to one fifth of the world income. It serves as a source for raw material as the North, “eager to acquire their own independent resource bases[,]…subjected large portions of the global South to direct colonial rule” between 1850 and 1914. As nations become economically developed, they may become part of the "North", regardless of geographical location, while any other nations which do not qualify for "developed" status are in effect deemed to be part of the "South".
