By "development elite" I refer to all those who are devoted to the task of "development" of the third world

For a fuller treatment of the theme see my "Peace Research in the Third World" (Shanti Prakashan, New Delhi ).

The concept of internal colony is fairly well known. 'Exploitation' in the case of internal colony is a built-in device of the system.
5.
By "welfare" elite, I refer to all those who are devoted to the promotion of 'welfare' in the North and West, i.e. in the industrialised modern affluent societies.
6.
Vide President Carter's recent pronouncements. His plea is to "scrap welfare" (Courler Mail, 19th August 1977).
7.
Vide the New Internationalist referred to earlier.
8.
Unemployment benefit is $50.00 per week. The increase that a senior politician secured in the latest indexed increase in August was double what one gets in terms of unemployment benefit.
9.
Bangladesh is not like India where there are people of unequal incomes and an 'average' can well be misleading. An 'average' in Bangladesh would be fairly representative of a 'poverty' standard.
10.
Regarding the fact that goals are responsible for poverty, we have already mentioned about unemployment and shown how the 'goals' of affluent society require a number of people to be unemployed. Unemployment is thus a function of the structure, so is deprivation and poverty.
