But you haven't answered the question, what economic system other than capitalism can flourish? Exploitation doesn't by definition mean capitalism or vice versa.
By the way, the arab world is getting a lot more than minimum wage, by selling resources to the west. There is no comparison to the exploitation of Africa, which has some of the most impoverished people in the world. OTOH, Saudi and UAE and Kuwait and other oil rich countries are some of the richest countries in the world, because of selling their oil to the west (and east). I don't see how the Arab world can compare itself to African victims. They have not been exploited - on the contrary, they have been pampered with money.
Capitalism becomes market fundamentalism. This idea of a global economy will only flourish with a global society. Not everyone wants to be part of this. In a free market it works, but elsewhere it won't be the best thing for workers.
I wasn't speaking of gulf arab countries, they don't make up the whole Arabic world. Look at Egypt, Libya! Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, or Jordan.
