Here is a pdf of the paper mentioned in OP.

Jason Hickel, one of the authors of that paper, also wrote a good one about unequal exchange, showing that poverty in the Global South is pretty much created and maintained by Global North countries who drain land, labour, and goods from the South to feed their greed and overconsumption. This unequal exchange (or 'drain') amounts to about 30x what Global South countries receive in aid, and it is enough to eliminate extreme poverty dozens of times over. nerd

Love that a sizeable part of Jason Hickel's career is just publishing empirical works that debunk neoliberal and Western propaganda. o7
