Development, Trade And Aid
Aperçu
Why are some countries rich and others poor, and what, if anything, do the wealthy owe the rest? Development, trade and aid sit at the heart of that question. Development is about more than money: it is about health, education and the chance to lead a decent life. Trade is the engine many countries hope will lift them, and aid is the help offered when trade and growth are not enough. In Global Perspectives you are not asked to memorise economics; you are asked to weigh how this looks to a person, to a country and to the whole world, to test the evidence on each side, and to reason toward fair, workable action.
This note shows you how. You will meet the core facts stated with their sources and years, the three perspectives set side by side, the big debates (does aid actually work? is free trade fair?) laid out as argument and counter-argument so you stay balanced, and report and team-project ideas you could really use. The worked examples model the skills the exam rewards: spotting a perspective, evaluating a claim, framing a sharp question and building a line of reasoning.
