I disagree that HG societies require the 'good will' of market societies (unless of course they're using violent force, which many did [see colonialism]), hunter-gatherers can live quite sustainably indefinitely, and did, considering the majority of human existence was as hunter-gatherers, but I do think without market exchange and especially some form of exchange medium, development is severely limited, in the same way it is limited without literacy or the wheel-axle.
