Most prosperous civilizations, which i have heard of, have in differeng, forms some element of exploitation. This leads to the suffering of others and prosperity of the benefacting civilization. Most of us know of the slave trade ect, but even today all the prosperous countries and even businesses exploit in order to prosper, eg cheap labour which many clothes manaufacturer employ, slave labour in Dubai, America's oil exploitation, the situation in oil rich yet poverty striken Nigeria, supermarkets who use minimum wage workers, to name just a few. So my question is, is it possible to raise anything prosperous without exploitation or is exploitation a prerequisite for economic growth and prosperity.
