In my opinion, I absolutely agree that development is a form of exploitation. Even though that concept of development is a contested concept, but according to Rostow (1960), the concept of development is connected to the economic growths which linked to economic performance. In general, development happens for the pursuit of economy. Then, Rostow (1960) seen development as an increase of production and efficiency and measured primarily by comparing the per capita income.

Pizza Hut offered a young Spanish woman a job - but the first 2 weeks would be without pay, to "help" her improve her English!

Two Marxist Objections to Exploitation ABSTRACT: I argue that we can find in Marx two objections to exploitation: (i) an entitlement objection according to which it is wrongful because of the unjust distribution of benefits and burdens it generates; and (ii) an expressivist objection according to which it is objectionable because of the kind of social relation it is. The expressivist objection is predicated on a communitarian strand in Marx's thought, whereas the entitlement objection is grounded

The Exploitation of Puerto Rico by the United States Puerto Rico has had a long history of dependency. Puerto Rico was first colonized by Spain until the Spanish American war, which resulted in the colonization by the United States in 1898.

The U.S. decided to partake in this colonial expansion
