FOR A MEDAL Country A has a diversified economy, and Country B doesn't. In the event of a natural disaster, which country has an advantage and why? Country A: It would have enough products to meet the needs of its own people. Country B: Since it focuses on only one product, it can recover more quickly. Country A: If a disaster ruins one product, it has others it can produce or trade. Country B: There is more risk if the country is producing a variety of products.

@bibby

OpenStudy (bibby):

Not entirely sure. Let's pretend country a makes pizza, cars, and coffee country b only produces bananas. if the banana fields are wiped, country b has to rebuild everything whereas country a might lose a few factories but have other businesses that can still run This is way too hypothetical...

Don't get it.

OpenStudy (bibby):

You ever hear the idiom don't put all your eggs into one basket?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol no,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What you think the answer may be? i have no idea. >.<

OpenStudy (bibby):

lol, anyhow if you trip over a rock and all your eggs are in one basket. They all break. And you have no eggs. You should have listened... Bring more baskets... ANYHOW, it's just saying diverse economies can bounce back better because they're not dependent on only one thing.

mmmmm.

OpenStudy (bibby):

are you just gonna nudge me till I pick one? ummmm A. It'd do you better to read through my logic though

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah but i didnt get anything u said lol.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im almost done think u can help a bit more?

OpenStudy (bibby):

hahaha. ok basically, if I have 2 baskets of eggs I'd have to lose BOTH to break all of my eggs. Whereas if it's all in one, I'd just need to drop one basket. This is an abstract way of saying that country a can make food and stuff for its people whereas country b is fudged

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (bibby):
