Abstract

In the typical Third World society, like Colombia, or India, or Mexico, or Egypt-they are all more or less the same-there is a sector of great wealth, enormous wealth, there are large numbers of people who live somewhere between suffering and misery, and then there is a sector who are just superfluous; they're of no use, that is, they don't contribute to pro�?t. So you just have to get rid of them somehow.
