The systemic problem is further usually linked to rich first world countries entrenching those systems so they can exploit the country for whatever reason. Or further their geopolitical interests. One aspect that gets overlooked is how much external forces affect internal politics and policies. At the end of the day third world countries need independent governments that are functional for providing for their own people. That is the interest of the elites are aligned with those of the people. Capitalism is one way to do that. But not external capitalism, internal Capitalism. But internal Capitalism does not just emerge, and we don't seem to want to actually spread it, because that's not the natural way capital moves. And that's not going to further anyone in the first world's interests/.
Instead, external Capitalists move in to exploit the people and resources while the country stays corrupt not benefiting from the profits, because profits are for the most part siphoned off by external investors. So there isn't much money left over to do actual work in the country. To build its systems and an internal Capitalist elite that will look after the country, its interests, and properly socializing and educating people.
So the countries continue to stay charity cases. Exception of this being countries which already have a class interested in Capitalism that is enabled by other foreign countries, rather than private interests. Like Japan and South Korea.
