When you look back. Which part do you see where the Third World was the manufacturing hub?

The strength of the British Empire was its Third World Empire producing the raw materials. With 100% of the profits flowing back to Britain, where the rich were obscenely rich compared to the poor. See the parallel?

You may be one of those that's in the top bracket and convinced the poor should remain poor and increase in numbers. So you can remain rich. that won't last.
