My response the to the counter claim is the same response I have for Hardin, in that the logic and metaphors being used are flawed and fail to consider many other significant and integral factors. The poor can help themselves with the aid provided by wealthier nations they just require it in different forms such as infrastructure as opposed to outright resources. Furthermore, the wealthy are more capable of defending their own interests by ensuring the interests of other nations and should also do so simply out of their humanity.
