Explain one criticism of global economic growth efforts.

Question

A. Some scholars argue that economic growth efforts have caused more harm than good, with countries forced to enter the global free-market economy before they were ready.
B. Some scholars argue that economic growth efforts should integrate the world under one global currency, following the model of the EU’s euro.
C. Some scholars argue that no economic partnership has helped the middle class grow in its member countries.
D. Some scholars argue that economic growth efforts should only be a response to the economic devastation caused by the two world wars.

Answer 1

A. Some scholars argue that economic growth efforts have caused more harm than good, with countries forced to enter the global free-market economy before they were ready. They argue that this can lead to economic dependence, exploitation of resources, and widening income inequality within countries. Critics believe that a more sustainable approach to economic growth should prioritize the needs and development of individual countries, rather than pushing for rapid globalization at all costs.
