Unless you believe the left-wing theories that the developed countries got there by luck or chicanery, and the less developed countries got there by exploitation by the more developed countries. I find it ironic when anyone thinks that the same kinds of policies that developed the first world, will create "imminent collapse" and "industrial annhilation" in a third world country like India already struggling to evolve from the millstone of socialism imposed on it in its first 50 years. Especially when this comes from someone who chooses to live in a first world country - OK, second world in the case of Kevin - rather than in the two tier confusion of India, which Kevin visualizes as an idyllic agrarian society, where the poor are "provided for" (with resources coming from where, one might ask), and wise elites manage the entire economy with vision and efficiency. This is precisely what India is trying desperately to get the hell away from.
