Let's say you're the leader of a primarily indigenous country where most people are peasants who sustain themselves through the practice of subsistence agriculture, like Peru or Bolivia. Let's say you want to develop the country's economy in the way development is traditionally conceived of. This involves the creation of a modern industrial economy at the expense of the indigenous peasant's traditional ways of life. Would you say that by doing this, you would be oppressing them to an extent that is unacceptable? If so, what is the correct vision to have for the future if you're in a country like that?

    I wouldn't say it's that word. But that doesn't mean it's good stuff.
