In the 1990s, developed countries agreed to double their aid to Africa by 2015. A report by the United Nations conference on Trade and Development noted that sceptics had raised concerns about how much effect the doubling of aid would have on output and incomes in Africa, if the quantity of other inputs such as human capacity and institutions were to remain fixed. It also pointed to the divisions between the sceptics with some suggesting the return would diminish when aid reached only 4% of GDP, while others thought they would diminish only when it had reached 50%. It should be added that even if the returns do begin to diminish, they could still be very important.In 1887, Cecil Rhodes created the De Beers Consolidated mines Company, which controlled about 90% of the total world supply of rough uncut diamonds with its South African mines. Until 2001, De Beers produced about half of the world’s diamonds in its mines and marketed about 80% of the world’s diamonds. Diamond producing…
popular refrain about the North Korean economy is that it is reverting to a command-andcontrol economy in the face of sanctions and pandemic isolation. An example is a Washington Post article from February, which claimed Kim Jong Un “turned his back on even modest economic and market reforms and reverted back to de facto Leninism, emphasizing central planning while trying to clamp down on the private entrepreneurial activity.” This claim reflects a misunderstanding of its current economic policy. Actually, Kim Jong Un’s economic reforms emphasizing markets and competition are continuing.Kim’s major change in North Korea’s economic policy was to encourage competition. Previously, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s (DPRK) production unit was responsible for only executing the production targets required by the country. Through a constitutional amendment in 2019, North Korea abolished the “Taean [alternative] Work System,” the doctrine of economic management of business in the…

- Read the excerpt below and use it to answer the essay.“In some ways the state of the world economy is less hostile today than when (then) finance minister Tito Mboweni read his Budget Speech a year ago. Global economic growth rebounded significantly in 2021, after the decimation brought about by the Covid-19 induced recession in 2020.One of the outcomes of this was a sharp recovery in commodity prices, which has resulted in much higher-than-expected mining tax revenue in South Africa. This, in turn, has provided some welcome – albeit limited – breathing space on the fiscal front.The local economy is thought to have grown by more than 4.5 percent in 2021 – the highest annual increase in more than a decade. On balance, the finance minister should be able to meet spending demands (including the extension of the Sassa payments) for the year ahead, without widening the Budget deficit or resorting to punitive upwards adjustments to tax rates.”[Adapted from article by Professor André Roux] •…arrow_forwardSomewhere in Kenya, a girl logs on for a personalized math lesson from California-based Khan Academy.
