Do cultures really benefit from the forced traditions of others?

Sure, many cultures seem to gain the material goods of those who would subjugate them and exploit their resources - but which group benefits the most?

Studies show that rich countries giving aid to poor countries see a net gain in resources.

There is actually a transference of wealth from the poor to the rich.

Cultures based in the American ghetto, Tribal lands, or even Appalachia show the same negative transfer of wealth.
Should the ghetto really be exploited for her talent, innovation and creativity - or would these resources be better used within each community?
