Underdevelopment's gravitation

„The energy necessary to escape the gravitational pull of underdevelopment and to enter an evolutional trajectory dependent on the gravitational pull of development is unintelligible in economic terms.”


As it is shown by the global statistics, underdevelopment has a stronger gravitational pull than development. There is no other explanation for the constantly high ratio of the population finding themselves bellow the line of income standards and quality of life accepted as normal by the civilized world. The realm of poverty absorbs, as if by force of gravity, the most part of the planet's inhabitants within its sphere of influence.
