Yes it would and yes it does. I have made numerous threads pointing out how Pakistan's economic sovereignty is being violated by foreigners buying up banks and other types of cash cow businesses and ripping off the profits.
Cellphones, car and oil imports are ripping the pakistani economy to shreds along with usury-style debt payments too and I have been speaking out against all of this and more trying to make it sink in..but it doesn't.
The East India company was doing business in India and paying some tariffs at first and abiding by Indian laws(which they were in the beginning until they took over and started making the laws), why didn't anyone care? That was the meaning of a free market economy a few centuries ago.
You know what's odd is I never even studied or considered the case of the East India company and yet instinctively, I repeat instinctively I realized the potential for exploitation whenever I see the warning signs such as multinationals setting up a big footprint in a small economy, underindustrialized countries importing high value added products. Just by doing simple math with some common sense a reasonable person can figure out the negatives of the status quo but the 99% "why would anyone care" crowd is who ultimately f&*#s things up. Collectively pakistanis are idiots for allowing their economy to function the way it functioned for the last 60 years and sabotaging their own industrialization. Even worse than that most pakistanis are in complete denial and as I said before in the "why should anyone care" crowd.
Thanks for letting me prove that I am just making my point over concepts, I hope some pakistanis on this pakistani forum read my posts in this thread and make an effort to use their grey cells to figure out what my point is.
