| | Third World Debt, by Kenneth Rogoff: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics: Library of Economics and Liberty |
 | | The world's poorest countries, mostly in Africa and South Asia, were never able to borrow substantial sums from the private sector and most of their debts are to the IMF, World Bank, and other governments. | | | The sharp rise in world interest rates in the early eighties greatly increased the interest burden on debtor countries because most of their borrowings were indexed to short-term interest rates. | | | Although many Third World governments defaulted on their debts during the thirties, bankers had put that episode out of their minds by the seventies. |

| | THIRD WORLD DEVELOPMENT |
| | Globalisation refers to the emergence of a unified and integrated world economy in which the big transnational corporations and banks have increasing freedom and access to trade as they wish, because the barriers such as protection for Third World industries are being removed and governments are deregulating their economies. | | | Their access to Third World resources is increased, they can buy up the firms that go bankrupt, they can hire cheaper labour, they can import commodities more cheaply from the country (because of the devaluation). | | | However the Third World problem cannot be solved while we have an economy driven by market forces, growth and the profit motive, or until the rich countries stop consuming far more than their fair share of world resources. |

| | Third World Economic Development, by Clive Crook: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics: Library of Economics and ... |
| | A study by Guy Pfeffermann of the World Bank shows that the beneficiaries of social spending in the developing countries are not the poor. | | | The countries that failed, often guided by "experts" in the industrialized world, are the ones that gave only a small role, if any, to private enterprise and to prices that are unregulated by government. | | | Paradoxically, however, most of the Third World's highly interventionist governments neglect this role because they are too busy doing things they should not. |

| | "Coca-Colonization" of the Third World - Global Policy Forum - Globalization |
| | As a result of globalization, all Third World markets have been susceptible to external manipulation as happened in Southeast Asia in 1997 when the economies of Thailand, Indonesia, South Korea, and to a lesser extent Malaysia and the Philippines, took a severe beating. | | | By 1991, as the concept of globalization spread across the world, capital flows rose to $ 120 billion, reaching a hefty $ 280 billion in 1997. | | | The experience thus far proved that, unless the globalization process was better managed, "the impact on weak, Third World economies could be disastrous," he warned. |

| | Third World Debt Undermines Development - Global Issues |
| | The developing world now spends $13 on debt repayment for every $1 it receives in grants. | | | For the poorest countries (approximately 60), $550 billion has been paid in both principal and interest over the last three decades, on $540bn of loans, and yet there is still a $523 billion dollar debt burden. | | | The Heavily In-debt Poor Countries (HIPC) initiative set up in 1996 by the rich nations through the IMF and World Bank calls for the reduction of external debt for the poorest countries through write-offs by official donors. |

| | The Corner House - The Origins of the Third World |
| | Third, formal and informal British imperialism, backed up by the supranational automatism of the Gold Standard, eroded local fiscal autonomy and impeded state-level developmental responses -- especially investments in water conservancy and irrigation -- that might have reduced vulnerability to climate shocks. | | | The crucial role of these policies is highlighted by comparing these famines with extreme climate events in both countries 200 years earlier when state policies ensured that far fewer people died. | | | The use of force to configure a "liberal" world economy is what Pax Britannica was really about. |

| | As for "exploitation," the vast majority of American investment overseas goes to high-wage countries, not low-wage countries. | | | If outsiders succeed in pressuring or forcing multinational companies to pay higher wages, that will make it more economical for those companies to relocate many of their operations to more affluent countries, where the higher productivity of the workers there will cover the higher wage rates. | | | By and large, multinational companies pay about double the local wages in Third World countries. |
