    Globalization: Earning and Spending Introduction to Global Economic Relations Global economics are about more than just the monetary exchange of goods and services that commonly come to peoples’ minds when they hear the term. The way the world functions in terms of economic relationships between and within countries is what allows for an adaptable, globalized, and harmonic world system.

    Massey says that she was angry because she believes that space is actually what matters for geography; however, philosophers and social scientists made the space into a residual dimension. The over-focusing of time instead of space is the factor that Massey is angry about; she believes that space has dynamic and three-dimensional. Space changes the way of human beings’ lives. People cannot just simply consider space and flat and describe it without its context. 2.…

    Alleviating poverty is in the interest of most governments, but thriving financially seems out of reach or next to impossible to achieve by some countries. Countries that are considered first world countries today, like The U.S and China, have faced times where poverty was a major issue and economies were not creating either money or jobs, however they were able to stop the declining of their country. Why? Sachs suggests that every country has the ability to compete and become successful in the global economy, but there is no definite common method all countries can use to thrive. Sachs makes it apparent to the reader that solutions to the success of a country have to be used at the right time and, most of all, in the right country.…

    He states that “benevolent an autocrat may appear for the moment, unrestrained power will always turn out to be the enemy of development” (351). While authoritarian leaders can bring some growth development, at the end it is the individuals’ rights that bring development. Authoritarian leaders can destroy opportunities for growth with their unlimited power; therefore, free development is the answer for growth development. The most convincing debate from the four above is authoritarian versus free development because many people look at the little success of authoritarian leaders and conclude that autocrats create development growth.…

    In Chapter 2 of “The end of Poverty” Jeffrey D. Sachs, discusses economic growth and economic inequality in the world. He starts by presenting a graph of the GDP per capita by region in years 1820 and 1998, The first bar shows that everyone everywhere was relatively poor persuading the reader to believe that every nation had a fair start. He continues by affirming that every region had some sort of economic progress but not as rapidly as two of the world’s richest nations: Britain and North America. Although I agree with Sachs when he states that “Every region of the world experienced some economic growth… But some regions experienced much more growth than others” (page 31), his claims that is thanks to technological advances alone are debatable.…

    Walter Rodney did the same thing in his article, he just broke it down in two parts the developed and the underdeveloped. Walters goes on to say that a common reason why a country is usually undeveloped is because of exploitation by another country. He even says that all the countries in the world that are underdeveloped are being exploited by another country. The product of that is capitalism, where a country’s trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit rather than by the state. Another product of exploitation is imperialism, when a country increases its power gaining control over other areas of the…

    In Ricardo Hausmann’s article, “Prisoners of Geography,” he discusses the effects of geography on the economic stability of a certain area. After several detailed explanations, Hausmann comes to the conclusion that geography is the deciding factor in the development of a region’s economy with no regards to the people’s desires. The author’s belief that citizens are bound and chained to their geography and the effects the environment has on their economy despite their efforts is an accurate description of the correlation between location and economy. At the beginning of the article, Hausmann introduces the main two factors of economic growth according to Adam Smith and Joseph Schumpeter, which are the country’s accessibility to markets and its technological progress.…
