Since the GOVERNMENTS in those countries control access to resources,
thus maintaining the relative poverty of the general population, they
are the monopoly over certain resources like people, that enact the
policies allowing companies to exploit the resources. The problem is
government. If the third world countries did not tyrannical
governments of unlimited power, the populations would not suffer as
they do now. They would have the individual and local authority to
stop the government policies.
