I have a very bright son studying Intl Relations, and has spent time in places like South Africa and Malaysia. What you've written is his view, so I've heard it a lot, as he preaches like his dad. I used to pooh pooh it, but have had considerable change of heart. I've told him to let me know next time there is an important "WTO riot", as I'd like to participate.

<developed countries decide that they no longer wish to send cheap raw materials to developed countries for inflated US$, and began to apply very high tax rates to profits made from raw material extraction and export, and reinvest that capital in the primary interests of the peoples of their nations, rather than primarily for the benefit of local elites and developed nation.>

Economic substitution? This makes sense as a objective, but is there demand and a market in these countries for the products? Taxation in third world countries is nearly impossible, because of informal economies. Organized capital and property rights are critical. Read some of Hernan DeSoto's books (especially Mystery of Capital and The Other Path).
