Well, I've heard that view from some expats.

But, at the same time, they rarely back it up with proposals to stop the Western (government and corporate) stanglehold on the economies of said nations. Thus, whilst it sounds very righteous to say that these people are "spoiled by charity" it's not clear that any proposal for them to develop survival without charity is being made.

Amartya Sen said it best, the market mechanism for dealing with a food shortage is... starvation...
