Economic issues

Currently, AIDS is spreading rapidly in China and India If

the governments of these nations fail to stop the spread of AIDS, what are the

likely consequences for future economic growth in China and India?

In 1989, a massive protest against political repression in

China was halted by the government’s massacre of more than 150 individuals at

Tiananment Square in Beijing What impact do you think that episode had on

foreign investment and growth in China during the years immediately thereafter?

Most of the advances in institutions in China have come in

the cities rather than in the countryside Indeed, local officials in farming

villages actively redistribute wealth among villagers to keep the distribution

of income among local farmers roughly equal This a farmers’ success or failure

with this crops has little impact on his family’s standard of living Given

thise facts, where do you think the economic growth in China has occurred over

the past thirty years, in the cities or in the farms? Explain

Explain how the following factors will influence India’s

ability to compete in a highly competitive, rapidly changing global market

place: (a) an educational system that is largely state-operated and that

emphasizes job security for teachers and professors; (b) a transportation

infrastructure that is largely antiquated and in disrepair; and (c) a political

system that is adept at protecting favored constituents from competition and

handing out favors that have concentrated benefits and widely dispersed costs
