If those "around the world places" had all the valuable resources that enabled modern civilisation, why didn't they make use of them to build computers, vaccines, MR machines and moon rockets, or at least clean drinking water and indoor sanitation facilities for their people?

Why didn't those "around the world places" then go and extract wealth and materials from the west instead? What stopped them? Surely it wasn't their moral values, since war, slavery and genocide even cannibalism, of their neighboring tribes and nations, was the norm of the day over there.

>and still extracts through globalisation

Correction: "pays for it through globalisation". That's how countries like India and China got so many people out of poverty after globalisation.
