Sorry but the examples in this article that say recent technology has added wealth are thin what they have done is allowed system gaming and labor arbritage . The only way technology supports wealth is if it liberates labor so it can be more productive elsewhere but if it displaces or replaces labor it just transfers wealth and that coupled with globalization driven by liberalized trade is exactly what has mostly happened. I would say that almost all of the advances in the developing world has been at the expense of the mature world so it’s clear the point is valid

Yes it’s going to be harder for the next gen emerging markets as the days of vast labor arbritage opportunity is gone and why should the emergers get in 20 years what the west took 200 to achieve they should pay with loans for the benifit of our IP and knowledge and not get it for free via global corporate squander . Our wealth is not for the taking by the global beggers
