Question

Based on this lesson's concepts, what are some possible solutions that would allow for greater equality in global economic development?

Answer 1

Students need to consider more than just a stable economy/high GDP as a measure of modernization. Suggestions should include improvements to lifestyle, which often are linked with an improved economy. Some suggestions for greater equality in global economic development include eliminating core countries’ control of peripheral countries’ goods, services, or economies, other than for trade and investment purposes; developing underdeveloped nations’ education systems; and core countries providing aid in the form of supporting human needs or modeling/setting up programs to move a country toward sustainability and economic security.
