The other reason which forcing us to leave our own town and migrate is the government. The Italian government was hurting us, the Italian people, by high taxes, and high protective tariff on industrial goods. We can only earn so much money; however, the government takes out so much of our income. Because of the issue, we cannot make enough money to
No longer a mere Nazi architect, Speer was now in charge of German construction and energy industries, including: armaments production, transportation, placements and authority over raw materials and industrial production. When assessing Speer’s success as Minister of Armaments and War Production it is vital to acknowledge the extensive use of slave labour which he enforced. This factor is incredibly predominant as it was the driving force behind the increase in munitions production; hence, prolonging the war. When trialled at Nuremberg Speer argued
WW1 ends – The ending of WW1 meant that the European countries were able to meet their own demands and therefore did not need any more supplies from America. Farmers suffered from overproduction and could not afford to keep their homes or pay mortgages, some farmers even decided to become sharecroppers. In 1924, 600,000 farmers went bankrupt. Also, there was stiff competition from Canadian, Australian and Argentinean farmers who were selling vast amounts of grain to the world market. Over-production – Fewer products such as cars, consumer good etc were not being sold as factories were making more goods than Americans needed or could afford to buy.
World hunger, pollution, and population growth all contribute to the increasing tensions felt around the world. World hunger has been created by an unequal distribution of food and resources to the people of the world. Wealthier nations, like the United States, consume more than their fair share of resources, and throw away millions of dollars of edible food each day. This wasted food could have fed starving people in areas like Ethiopia. Another problem with food distribution is that governments, like those in Africa, Asia, and Latin America are exporting crops to countries willing to pay higher prices as opposed to feeding its own people (Haviland, 2011, 2008).
Got Food? “The Rich Get Richer, the Poor Go Hungry” written by Sharon Astyk and Aaron Newton, states that there are many reasons for hunger in the world but the main one is the rich can afford food while the poor cannot. The world is making enough yields to feed the people of the world, but the problem is that not all people have the money to buy that food. The emotional appeals that Astyk make are very strong, but you cannot dismiss the fact that her logical claims are not fully backed up. “Inequity and politics, not food shortages, were at the root of almost all famines in the twentieth century” (580).
Roosevelt told the country what problems were at hand and dealt with them one-on-one, for example in his speech in San Francisco in 1932, “Our industrial plant is built; the problem just now is whether under existing conditions it is not overbuilt” [61]. Roosevelt also won over the people by promising, “that he would cut federal spending by 25 percent” [60]. Roosevelt simply had the gift of problem solving which eased America into voting for him, they knew and trusted that he would get America out of this
It’s said that the first crusade created Latin states on the holy land. Looking at my research I honestly feel as if the Crusades had a good impact on European economy. The population seemed to decrease because of the wars and diseases, but the wealth of the people and the church increased. Although the trading of Egypt and Pisa were destroyed due to war the merchant cities still benefited from the trading rights in the Latin East. As I read deeper into different websites I began to notice they all were saying the taxes in the crusades went back to the church but as I read into my research I learned the crusaders were taxed only to finance their new way of living but that doesn't mean the economy went bad; it actually blossomed from the
In 1945 some of the middle classes had voted labour for the first time but it could be argued that many of these people went back to voting conservative in 1951 because they were fed up of the austerity and rationing that Cripps brought into Britain. Stafford Cripps continued with the wartime “far shares for all” policy of food rationing, although this originally may have been appealing to some it caused resentment among the middle class women in particular who thought the continuing and increasing rationing, the increasingly lengthening queues for food which was less than satisfactory, for example foods such as “snoek” was unfair and needed to be changed. Cripps was also resented among the conservatives when he tightened welfare expenditure; he devalued the sterling which the conservatives depicted as humiliating. Sir Stafford Cripps was made Chancellor of the Exchequer at almost the same time as the Americans decided to launch the Marshall Plan. The Marshall Plan was a massive programme of financial aid to Europe to try and help economic recovery and stop the threat of communism spreading.
However, in reality it made it hard for Italy to sell abroad (due to the higher prices), so Italy lost its competitiveness on the world market. In addition, serious deflation took place and by 1936 the government was forced to devalue the Lira. To summarise, the reform was a failure as – although in the short run, Italy seemed powerful, in the long run the economy suffered. The battle for the Lira was a propaganda victory in which Mussolini successfully confirmed the image that the fascists were bringing stability and prosper to Italy, without actually doing so. Mussolini also had two other battles; that for
So what happened?? Without self-sufficient crops, many fell into poverty… …And were taken over by the bigger farms. However, wheat imports fell by 75%… …But exports of olive oil, wine meat and eggs fell, as countries didn’t trade with Italy – “He’s not buying my wheat, I won’t buy his wine. hah!” Price of bread rose. A huge propaganda campaign was released to try and help them achieve autarky.
