The world economy keeps crashing with many incidence of inflation. What is happening at the moment is a clear indication of a world that has failed the minority. Although the underdeveloped countries could partly be blamed for the high inflation that exists in their respective economies. Would things turn around for good if underdeveloped countries start to add value to their natural resources themselves without selling to the countries with good economy?
It's high time that third world countries realise that it is industrialization and not natural resources alone that is going to make them leap from being a third world country to maybe an economic super power, They are over reliant on their natural resources and all they tend to do is to export them, if they are able to build factories that could transform their raw materials to finished products like developed countries do, they will end up being getting 10x the profits they make from exporting just the raw materials alone
If only things were that simple
The problem is that countries which are already industrialized have a competitive advantage while the third world countries can't just proceed from exporting raw materials and natural resources to manufacturing finished products and retail-ready goods because they simply would not be able to stand the competition with the developed countries. So, instead of getting 10x the profits from exporting natural resources, they would only incur losses by producing subpar goods that will fail to market
To do what you suggest requires a lot more than just building factories as it also requires highly qualified labor force, technologies, capital, etc, as well as support from the big guns like the US opening their markets (see Japan as one such example) and it takes literally decades to go in that direction till finally getting there (or just somewhere)
