A billion goats slaughtered for world economic development (13)
I believe the answer is:
globalisation
'world economic development' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'a billion goats slaughtered' is the wordplay.
'slaughtered' indicates anagramming the letters.
'a'+'billion'+'goats'='abilliongoats'
'abilliongoats' is an anagram of 'GLOBALISATION'.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for globalisation that I've seen is " Growth to worldwide scale".)
