Right, there are people, those who would directly benefit from letting the cattle, agricultural, and timber industries in, that want such "progress." But much like the "progress" we saw centuries ago in England and America, these levels of "progress" were not necessarily indicative of the entire populous (you can bet your life it certainly isn't the small Brazilian farmer who will benefit).

Nations such as...Uganda? Tanzania? These countries were World Bank/IMF babies. Uganda was to be the model for free market progress. "Whu happened?"
"Protectionism" and "anti-globalism" are
hardly what's keeping Africa down....
