If you want a good metric for third world countries that have successfully developed, look to unionization. It's union wages that create the middle class that fuels demand and creates a real economy, instead of a pure export-oriented economy.

So do you mind when capitalists influence the laws?

I don't mind unions forming. I don't mind them demanding higher wages. It is just when they start influecing laws (that would be after the get the right to unionize) they cause trouble becuase the only thing left to help protect their jobs is protectionism.
