Abstract: Abstract The main argument of the previous chapter was that new products developed in and for advanced countries tend to be inappropriate to the needs of the majority of those living in developing countries. We argued that, as a result, these products generally have an inegalitarian welfare impact when they are introduced in the Third World.
