Which theory attributes persistent poverty to exploitation caused by dependent relationships of less developed countries with the wealthy global north?

Dependency theory

Explanation:

Dependency theory is the theory that resources flow from poor and underdeveloped countries to wealthy countries thereby enriching the wealthy countries at the expense of the underdeveloped countries.

Dependency theory also states that as time goes on, the degree of dependency will increase. Wealthy countries will use their wealth to influence the developing nations to adopting policies that will increase the wealth of the wealthy nations.
