That's not true, they're economies aren't undeveloped because they don't have anything that the wealthier nations want. Most thrid world countries are in the position they are because of years and years of colonization, where the only crops allowed to be produced were cash crops that sold well in the markets of their parent countries. As a result, their economies never developed, so when these colonies were granted sovereignty, all they had to rely on were one or two products, which doesn't make for a good economy, to say the least.
