1) Try to spread the wealth of wealthy nations throughout the world so that everybody has a decent standard of living, opportunity, goals stability/peace... which would theoretically lead to more brains trying to innovate new technologies with new ideas
or
2) Continue to keep the wealth as we do now, and keep the poorer nations essentially our laborers. It seems to me this is the way it works. Banana Replubics exist for our benefit only. Either we use them or let them languish after having invaded them and removed their ability to sustain themselves (culture).
The moral answer is easy. But does morality function or play a key role in technological innovation. Much of our technology were created as the result of war.

Why do you ask me this? It doesn't seem relevant.
But I choose neither, and I disagree with you on your conclusion that the moral answer is easy.
I think that quality is better than quantity, that the world is overpopulated enough by humans as it is, and that the nations of the world are already depending on eachother on a much too dangerous degree. Make of it what you will.
