Targeted Market of theULP Integrated System: BoPSatisfying the needs of the Base of the Pyramid (BoP) is the only way for long‐term sustainable growth of the world (S.L. Hart, “Capitalism at the Crossroads”)

▪ Export oriented policies targeting at the wealthy class of developed countries led toExport oriented policies targeting at the wealthy class of developed countries led toexcessive production and global deflation.▪ The poor at the BoP live in high cost economies, with huge consumer surplus.▪ BoP is often ideal markets for destructive technologies.BoP is often ideal markets for destructive technologies.
