gahh... zerosum game theory... i took an IR class a couple years back and remember this stuff...

if you think about it, the US and other capitalist countries are exploiting third world countries.. so, while the US and W.European countries prosper, there are just as many countries suffering the oppression of these huge countries... Multi-national corporations (MNC's) are totally exploiting the labor of these countries, and the govt's of these countries are complacent with their policies, in a way encouraging MNC's to come and open up factories on their land.

anyone up for some realist theory?
