Mortality will be greater as the increase in population takes place during a long period without relation to local production. The present demographic disorder, which is the effect of a nonadjustment between employment, subsistence, circulation and fecundity is the effect of the disorderly policy of overexploitation of labour. Although the degradation of subsistence economy has not yet reached its limits, one may consider that we have reached a new stage of capitalist development which is already characterized by an almost complete dependency of the proletariat of the dominated countries both on the wages (therefore on employment and capital), and on the agricultural production of the capitalist countries, particularly the United States. But the increased population of the previous stage, as described above, no longer coincides with the new demand for labour by international capital which has in the meantime crossed a new technological threshold of productivity: the numerous and low skilled proletariat of the dependent country is no longer necessary as such for capitalist development. One is therefore faced with a terrible situation which con-dems millions of individuals to physiological misery and death in the years to come. Resorting to liberal economy, which tries to erase all social investments, is one means to liquidate physically an incalculable number of people. Misery, illness or early death will be all the more unseen since statistics of the liberal economists don't take them into account. It is thus necessary, when analysing the present conjecture, to refer oneself to the different periods of domination of capital over the dependent countries. The policy of employment and wages has caused,since World War II, some effects which are deplored today as "natural phenomena", but which are within the logic of the overexploitation of labour which has characterized this period: the deterioration of the domestic production of subsistence; the growing access to a cash economy of a population receiving globally from the capitalist sector wages below the cost of its reproduction, but favouring in the short term an increase in population induced by the insecurity of this critical period of change for the peasants. Not only does capital refuse to take upon itself this proletariat which it has contributed to bring about during this phase of development, but it considers coldly in the coming stage that it should let this relative surplus population, induced by new investments and the new technology, die. A large operation of physical liqui-
