Indeed, you don’t have a clue what it is. Try looking up “unequal exchange”, or better yet reading a book on the subject. Lenin’s Imperialism: the highest stage of capitalism and Fanon’s How Europe underdeveloped Africa are good reads on the subject.
Walter Rodney wrote How Europe Underdeveloped Africa. Frantz Fanon's most famous work is The Wretched of the Earth, which is also a banger. Here's Lenin's Imperialism, the Current Highest Stage of Capitalism and the Prolewiki page on unequal exchange, for reference.
