Sure they can. In the 1940s they did it to several million people (a large part Jews). Up until the mid-20th century they stole resources and took advantage of human capital directly in occupied lands ("colonies"). Now they do it through outsourcing work to sweatshops, child mines, and such, in Asia, Africa, and so on. They also do whatever they can to keep those "unregulated mines" and cheap resources flowing, by by the traditional way of meddling in their ex-colonies, toppling governments, and so on.
