Jl z kz st world, 2nd world, etc cuz it implies a race some countries are 1st and third etc: goal of development implies goal of wealth creation. For these critics they argue, wealth should not be a good itself. We should value if wealth if health then gnp + these benefits are desirable otherwise no. Ppl have other values too nothing with wealth like peace, happiness etc. Distorts human moral structure cuz priotirsing wealth against peace environ etc,
