In many countries especially in China, Mexico, and even in the Philippines, the land which has been communal, public and ancestral is being privatized and seized from the hands of farmers and indigenous people. The exploitation of natural wealth by transnational corporations has increased several fold in many Third World countries, while the interests on debts by these countries are raised several times to squeeze more wealth from them.
Sa maraming bansa lalo na sa China, Mexico at maging sa Pilipinas, ang lupa na dating komunal, pampubliko at ancestral ay isinasapribado at tinatanggal sa pangangalaga ng mga magsasaka at katutubo; pinalalawak din ang pagsasamantala sa mga likas na yaman sa maraming bansa sa Third World; at patong-patong na interes ang isinasalaksak sa pagkakautang ng mahihirap na bansa para pumiga pa ng malaking yaman.
