Very thought-provoking. I think it's more about interdependency. For example, in the UK, people discuss foreign aid as if it's all about charity. It's not. "Aid" smoothes the way for business/arms deals. The countries we give "aid" to often throw out the welcome mat for big British businesses, sometimes to the detriment of their own home-grown businesses. And some developed countries provide essential infrastructure "aid" for small island nations in return for fishing rights. That's interdependency (dressed up as charity).
