n In his argument to include the Third World countries into the global economic system, D Margrett seems to recommend capitalism with a measure of compassion (You Say, July 31).
I liken present-day capitalism with the medieval feudal system - "Fat Cats" getting richer and stronger by preying, robbing and exploiting poor and weak.
John Pilger's recent TV documentary gave a revealing insight into Third World sweatshops.
The small concessions that drip from the capitalist system down to the poor and vulnerable are no more than the biblical crumbs which fell from the rich man's table that Lazarus used to feed on.
To make a fair comparison between one economic system against another one, all competing systems must start together from a level field.
