Dependency Theory

The dependency theory is the supporting evidence for how the rich keep getting richer and the poor keep getting poorer. It states that from the selfishness of some developing countries along with the relationship between these societies and the Third World, the development of thriving countries led to the underdevelopment of the Third World. This also states that resources from the poor and undeveloped societies "flow" into the wealthy states, building up the wealth states at the expense of the poor states. This theory helped me better understand a lot of how poverty came to be.
