Western money, supplied to underdeveloped regions of the world, in exchange for raw materials and sweat-shop labour, have nearly always fuelled problems and third world countries usually pay the price.
Western cash is used to build infrastructure, so badly needed, and 'Arms Supplies' are acquired to sort out local tribal wars, while religious extremists and internal power struggles, further compound the problem.

Promises to be an interesting and thought-provoking discussion indeed, if a bit depressing - given the brief analysis I have speculated upon.

The interesting part will be how the book's author, 'Vijay Mehta', "The Economics of Killing” can suggest ways in which to solve the 'age-old' problems of supply and demand.
