I agree with FC on the Economics issue. No matter the situation percieved after the influence of an industrialized nation has begun, the situation is bettered by the fact that people now have A JOB that they couldn't have had before. Now they can eat, at least a little bit. This is fact...however, it doesn't mean that conditions for those factories in those third world countries should not be improved.
Exploit is subjective: we pay them better or the work is better...otherwise there would be no labor force to pool from. Like it or not, America industrializing a third world country helps them. Try reading about American and English industrialization. Sure it was rough, but after going through it we became better. Some countries don't make it through the process and remain poverty stricken mainly due to political or social strife. However, I would rather be able to at least get paid if I lived in a country that offered no government support and had no entreprenurial or economic ability to advance its' own technologies into a self-sustaining industry than to starve helplessly.
