"In an expanding world economy, where many raw materials are rapidly becoming strategic commodities, the poor ‘stand in the way’ of access to these raw materials, not unlike the native American ‘Indians’ being a hindrance to the settlers’ use of land. For some United States conservatives, placing the poor on ‘reservations’ is an option to be seriously considered. Only a decade ago, two American authors recommended the establishment of a custodial state in a much publicized book: "by custodial state, we have in mind a high-tech and more lavish version of the Indian reservation for some substantial minority of the nation’s population, while the rest of America tries to go about its business" (Herrnstein and Murray, 1994: 526). The MDGs are uncomfortably close to combining the consumption-based view of poverty with the idea of establishing reservations where the basic needs of the poor are taken care of while the rest of the world gets along with its business." p18 Reinert, E.S. "Development and Social Goals: Balancing Aid and Development to Prevent 'Welfare Colonialism'." UN/DESA, 2006, Working Paper No. 14.
