It is unreasonable to assume a model outside of this will be attainabille within the next two centuries.
Instead let's focus on drawing back the exploitation within our own country this century then we can shift our perspective. We will never stop exploiting the poorest countries if we're still exploiting our poorest citizens.
I can sit here and spin the exact same question about reducing global exploitation.
Reducing global exploitation would implies self sustainability and with the west, particularly the US, they never reach self sustainability with their current economic model of giving 95% of their production/wealth to the top 1% while a very large portion of its population is struggling economically/mentally/physically.
It's a stepping stone in the problem of global exploitation, but it can't happen overnight nor independently.
This just incentivizes more exploitation of the Global South.
