You want an Honest answer.

In one word: Syllogism

-

If you want to understand 'what & how' it works,
then you should start with reading:

How Europe Underdeveloped Africa
by Walter Rodney
Introduction by Vincent Harding
copyright 1972, revised ed. 1981
[HC800.R62  1981]  330.98  81-6240
ISBN 0-88258-096-5 (pbk.)  AACR2
ISBN 0-88258-105-8 (cloth)

This book is a bit dated in terms of it's era.
Thus it comes from a Socialist perspective
indicative of that era. However many of its
passages hold true today.

-

Now ... having said that,
I am in no-way in league with the socialist
idealism covered by the text. 
On the contrary, my interests are Jeffersonian.

-

If you don't have time for this book (make time).
Here's a sound bit from a 1976 movie called 'Networks'
you'll get the point.
