Ahh but that is too simple an explanation. Off course it holds some truth but many of the thing that the industrial countries have stolen or bought cheap has had no or little actual value without the knowhow to use them. Oil is one example.

Besides there are plenty of small industrialised countries that could have been robbed but hasn't, and a lot of Asian countries are getting a lot more wealthy these days without robbing anybody.

The world is getting wealthier each and every day because of technology and knowhow.

Wealth is not a zero sum game.
