This is something that China did very rapidly and is fast becomming the world leader in that respect. That is just one use for the term. You are right about it developing rich peoples wallets and political life though...seems to go hand in hand.
Yeah, my point is I hate when words that mean something are used to signify something else that's to any point different. Also, as far as I know with what I was teached, it's more of a politically correct term. "3rd world nation" didn't sound nice so we changed it to "developing nation". Which might be the reason that makes me hate it, politically correct terms are so moronic. For example, feminists that say stop using "men" instead of "humanity". Humanity comes from some latin word that also means male or men, can't really remember. Anyway, it shouldn't really mattter because it isn't really related to the topic. I just said that on a ...sidenote?
