International studies in economics and political science prefer the following Most developed Developing Least developed The worlds terminology is based on the Cold War alignments and are not really relevant now. Well less relevant, unless the conversation is about or related to the Cold War. In the terms of economic status, one should use the developed,ing,ed terminology. And to be honest, some circles just use developed and developing. --- You know how fads are. Today it's brains, tomorrow, pierced tongues.
