NA industrial revolution set up companies and industries in NA for NA people. The sweatshops only use the labour from those countries without setting up any long term economical gains for the locals.

Are sweatshops actually gonna help a 3rd world country in the long term?
Who set up NA with long term economical gains for the locals?

Oh yeah....they did it themselves. No relying on some other companies/countries to do it for them.

In a word...maybe.

At least these folks now see the possibilities of what "can" happen within the free market world. They already make more money than they did by working for the factories than they once used to. So some one/government may use the model of those companies and go it on their own. Much like the NA industrial revolution began, it can as well in 3rd world countries with proper government/political support. It will not be easy obviously, and it may not happen at all, but at least they have something to emulate whereas that did not exist 50 years ago.
