Technological innovations and advances: Because capitalists’ control how technology is used, many of the computer’s potential gains are not realized. Capitalists enhance this conflict that may lead to social revolutions because human development is rendered. This is an adoption regarding the views on computers that Karl Marx may have held.

In order to fully innovate and advance developing nations technology, the governments must regulate and work with global corporations to spread the technology. We cannot rely on the business owners themselves spreading this technology to the third world. The governments must do this.

The distribution of wealth in developing nations is lob sided. There are few elite people and the rest are either working middle class or poor, depending on the nation. What can we do to shrink the wealth gap? The government should regulate the corporations and companies that the elite own, and redistribute some of that wealth into economic and business incentives for the poor and middle class. Furthermore, there are many countries were a few elite land owners control a vast amount of land and have “sharecroppers” working for them for unbelievably low wages. The government must step in and split up the land among the various sharecroppers so that they too can own some of the land. Opponents might say this is unfair to the elite, but these people are rich and still would be rich if the land were to be redistributed. They would still have a lot of land, but the middle class would gain a lot more than the elite would lose.

For health care, Canada and Switzerland have the best health care system and they are socialized. All Canadian and Switzerland citizens are covered medically. These examples show how structuralism leads to better health services. Education is basically governmentally regulated in the United States and elsewhere. The U.S. has a very high literacy rate thanks to this regulation. In countries where education is not regulated, such as some poor African countries, the literacy rates are extremely low. You cannot just rely on the market to create schools and educational programs. The government must do this to have an educated and successful people.

While I personally may not believe in all of these viewpoints, I believe that incorporation of some of these ideas may truly help developing countries.
