Is it really possible to buy and sell a country's basic industries?
In fact, it is indeed possible!
The economic order established after World War II is essentially a US Dollar economy.
If you want to develop, you need external input of funds and technology, which are ultimately converted into US Dollars and transformed into debt.
There is no real 'aid' or 'assistance in construction' unless it is prefixed with 'non-repayable'; otherwise, it is all low-interest or interest-free loans that need to be repaid!
No country in the world can be completely self-sufficient; they need to purchase goods, which requires using US Dollars or Euros for transactions.
But if you don't have sufficient industrial products or natural resources to export, you can't earn enough foreign exchange to buy goods from other countries.
To meet domestic development needs, borrowing US Dollars becomes necessary.
