A billion goats slaughtered for world economic development (13)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

globalisation

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'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".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
