The reason for why governments in developing countries sometimes are unable or unwilling to implement polices that create favorable conditions for economic growth boils down to two main reasons: social issues and political issues. Political issues are just as multifaceted as the social issues. Due to corrupt governments and regimes the lawlessness spreads throughout the developing nation like wildfire. Political issues revolve around the basic needs of a nation such as simple, yet, necessary infrastructure of schools, hospitals, septic tanks, etc. The necessity of public goods is vital for a developing country to survive, maintain, and become what we consider today, a developed country.
Chapter 33 – Aid and indebtedness Aid is any assistance that is given to a country that would not have been provided through normal market forces. Aid may be provided to developing countries because: * Help people affected by war or natural disasters * Help achieve economic development * To create or strengthen political or strategic alliances. * To fill in the savings gap thus encouraging investment * To improve the quality of human resources * To improve levels of technology * To fund specific development projects Official aid: organized by government or an official government agency. Unofficial aid: organized by a non-government organization (NGO) such as Oxfam. 1) Humanitarian aid * Aid given to alleviate
Critics say that pressure groups benefit the well organised but they disadvantage the weakly organised, subsequently working against the public interest. This is because the pressure groups run on donations for their funding. As a result, a pressure group with as little as two or three wealthy advocates may end up becoming influential and having its cause heard by the government. However, its members may not represent as much of the population as is suggested by the pressure group’s standing, thus creating inequality. This is amplified by the fact that the larger pressure groups can leave many smaller ones in their shadow.

One of the reasons companies outsource workers, and thus help imperialize foreign countries, is for cheap labor. Western corporations can have multiple sources for a given item, in order to allow continued production once one region realizes it is being treated unfairly and strikes. Oddly, it is argued that these companies could survive without any foreign connection—capitalism without imperialism. But, this would lower profits and prevent “advanced capitalism.” The decision to claim that cultures with what is considered modern technology is defined by military power rather than which culture is actually superior. It is this force that essentially created this gap.
The Paulson plan also seems to signal a dangerous shift away from liberal market mechanisms into an age of neo-mercantilism. This should concern both American conservatives (destruction of Smith's Liberalism) and American liberals (since the system naturally favors certainly wealthy interests at the expense of largely lower and middle income taxpayers). .Certaintly we should agree that a government that takes our taxpayer monies and distributes it out to already-wealthy individuals who have shown a reckless disregard for managing that money in the past does not provide us with much of an efficient return on our own
| 7 | State one argument made by the author. | Rich patients in need of organs take advantage of the worlds poor. Promises of cash rewards for donation are sometimes not kept and when they are kept they can be for less than agreed upon. Given these disparities, legal organ trade will always lead to the exploitation of impoverished donors. A better solution to the global shortage of organs can be used unless the decreased had requested otherwise.
Does he have a motive to distort the details of his endeavors or is he relating the truth and nothing but the truth. I believe the revelations are credible because there are actual footage supporting Perkins claims. Has this book in any way impacted your understanding of the world and how it works? Confessions of an Economic Hit Man has impacted my understanding of the world and how it works in terms of understanding how we have grown to become a global super power. Unfortunately, our wealth has been at the disadvantage of other countries.
Population stabilization is not necessarily easy to achieve though. Birth control and family planning are great ways to help slow population growth. This works in multiple ways, but the most successful approach is to educate the people and allow them to make their own informed decisions on this subject. All nations need to address population stabilization though, including developing nations, as this is a key role in global efforts for sustainability. “The ideological split between developed and developing countries was a thing of the past – all agreed that population growth must be dealt with in order to make progress in reducing poverty and promoting economic development.” (Wright & Boorse, 2011) A well-developed economy’s population stabilizes itself.
Being knocked down a peg in society brings us back to wishing we could just accept or afford the little house with the picket fence. As soon as we are able to fulfill that dream again, if ever, we become greedy again. People crave for more and I believe it is only human to feel this way; this helps us to fit into society and feel as though we are living the American dream. For some people they struggle to live the American dream and tend look to the government for help. Feeling helpless due to the economy they become addicted to claiming help from other sources other than themselves because it just seems easier.
