  1. Absolutely no one is complaining about that. It’s your hate-fueled hearts that don’t want to see the ‘global South’ develop. Apple Inc. would love more Nigerians to be rich enough to buy iPhones.

  2. Finland, Sweden, and Switzerland never colonized anyone and they are three of the most prosperous countries in Europe. Portugal had colonized Africa centuries before the rest of Europe and they are the poorest Western European country. Thailand, Liberia, and Ethiopia were never colonized and they're still dirty poor.

  3. The two countries who’ve been ‘exploited’ most by the West, China and India, saw explosive economic growth over the last three decades.

  4. If 5 billion people are getting poorer, why has every statistic on average human well-being (infant mortality rate, life expectancy, literacy, etc.) improved in the last 30 years? No greater lie has ever been thrust upon mankind than ‘the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer’. Only the first part is true.
