Capitalism is, of course, a technology.
The point being that Capital is interested in “helping” to the extent the “help” generates an ROI.
Many of these countries have local markets.
They also suffer when capital captures regulatory / gov agencies, and those agencies pass laws that benefit capital.
Much of the world is getting by on $350-$750 / year, so my guess is that >90% of folks reading hacker news are making 100x that of these folks.
Not to mention instances where capital leverages local labor and resources and leaves the community worse off. Ie, water being used to make Coke and exporting it.
