The pre-industrial era was one of new lands, new wealth, and new ideas. It was a time where growth seemed not only sustainable, but rather necessary and admirable. That being the case, many an author sought to understand this new growth, to make it applicable to the their fellow citizenry, to guide the thoughts of those around them in the way they saw best fit for the benefit of society. Through these various thought experiments, our authors came to manifest seemingly radical notions of wealth…

It was therefore not surprising that by 1975, the economy had become a net importer of basic food items. The apparent increase in industry and man ufacturing from 1978 to 1988, was due to activities in the mining sub-sector, especially petroleum. Capital formation in the economy has not been satisfactory. Gross domestic investment as a per centage of GDP, which was 16.3 per cent and 22.8 per cent in the periods 1965-73 and 1973-80 respectively, decreased to almost 14 per cent in 1980-88 and…

Foreign direct investment (FDI) is a controlling ownership in a business enterprise in one country by an entity based in another country. FDI is a major source of capital for many developing countries such as Russia and Zambia. It is usually difficult for these countries to solely rely on their own domestic strengths and capacities alone and therefore FDI is considered necessary for these countries as it contributes to their general economic growth. However FDI can have a huge positive and…

The Relation of Work, Wealth, and Interdependence Everyone knows that the harder one works the wealthier they will be. The logic makes sense, people who are lazy and do little work won’t do their job, and therefore won’t become wealthy. When a person works hard it makes sense that they will earn a lot of money. This means that work and wealth are directly related, as one increases so does the other. Even though it is commonly believed that wealth is acquired by hard work there are some people…

positive impact on GDP in developing countries. Makki and Somwaru’s statistical testing revealed that this positive impact is related to the ability of FDI to stimulate domestic investment, a category of investment that could conceivably include gross capital formation, technology development, infrastructure development, and the improvement of human resources via education and other factors. Finally, Makki and Somwaru also found that the relationship between FDI and economic growth was stronger…

Raising the taxes on the wealthy would be a great option. The goal is not to tax them to the point of taking it all away, but making it fair, especially in times of struggle. Bob Herbert 2010, a New York Times columnist states that,” America does not have the common sense to raise taxes” (qtd. in King 614). I couldn’t agree more with his statement, as it seems like everyone is intimidated to raise taxes on the wealthy, or makes up excuses why we cannot do so. According to writer Dana Golden 2009…

Communism, Socialist, or Anarchist have seeks to overturn the conditions to make a better civilization, but every single one of them turn futile.
