Marxism, based on social class analysis, claims that capitalism can produce growth in the third world but only as a means to an end. In fact, the Marxist theory of historical materialism understands society as fundamentally determined by the material conditions, or modes of production, at any given time. In general, Marx identified successive stages of the development of these modes in Western Europe: the Slave Society developed when the tribes becomes a city-states and social relationships were based on the slave-master relation. Then Feudalism is born and the serfs worked under the rule of the landlord. On each conditions occupying one or another category had a fundamental impact on what an individual could or could not do. Merchants, then, developed into the current capitalists, who are the ruling class, creating and employing the true working class. The Capitalism as a social system, offered new conditions to liberty and even workers, represented by the middle class, gained full right. Yet, the constraints in the social system of capitalism are more sophisticated and give illusive individual liberties. I think a form of these ties is the fact that “everybody has to pay mortgages” as it was stated in the 2006 movie Thank you for smoking; from the lobbyists working for their corporate, to the journalists working for their newspapers, all obey to that doctrine, and obviously the consumer who is wedged between the opposite points of view; all of them are contributing to making the few riches richer. Additionally, this historical process doesn't end with capitalism but this latter, regarding Marxists, would propel the growth of communism because of the exploitation of workers and the growing wealth of the few rich. For the underdevelopment issue, Marx blames the state as it is the institution that serves the interest of the bourgeoisie and the ruling class. The government is, hence, responsible for the underdevelopment of the country with its wrong policies or the failure to implement the right ones. The strong point of Marxism is that it looks to the issue “from outside of the box”, a broader scale of history because the theory consider capitalism as a simple mode of production among others, not the sole world system.
