Lol, no. It's to help them catch up so they can purchase products the wealthier countries sell. It's mutually beneficial.
And yet they never catch up. Why do you think that is?
The goal is to keep them weak and dependent, not help them stand as equals with France and Germany.
Lol, yes they do. Look at Ireland and Croatia. Ireland has gone from being one of the poorest to wealthiest. Croatia is moving that way.
Wealthy countries all continue to grow also, obviously. So it's the rate that matters, so gaps close and people are better off on average.
