- Ban the dumping of goods, food, etc in the third world.
- Stop the IMF from dumping loans in the third world.
- Critically assess what /exactly/ the net results of providing 
micro-credits are, and /how/ they are provided. All is not well there.
- The western countries being the world leaders in armament production 
should stop exporting them (or dumping older versions). This is utopia, 
I know.
- we have replaced colonialism by a subtle form of neocolonialism in 
some countries.
