But that risks poors being less poor and exploitable. It’s ultimately about the control.

They’d keep the control if they gave the poor the resources they need. That doesn’t upset the balance of power, it just grows the economy to the size it needs to be for everyone to thrive. Control is already secured. Cruelty is the point.
