Many countries import considerable amounts of goods and services from other countries. Yet economists argue that a nation can enjoy a high standard of living only if it can produce a large quantity of goods and services itself. Can you reconcile these two facts?
Draw a production possibilities frontier for a country that produces two goods: capital goods and consumption goods. Show a point of production that will allow a country to achieve the maximum amount of future growth while still producing a small amount of consumption goods.
This is not a writing question. What I meant is, I just want to know with 240 million, normally the standard of living of a country is good or bad based on the population? Thank you so much.

- Billions of people in the world make two dollars a day or less. In fact, a billion people make less than one dollar a day. In such places, a loan of $100 or $200 makes a huge difference. That's where microloans from organizations such as Opportunity International come in. Opportunity International is an organization that grants microloans to people, mostly women, in developing countries so they can invest in a business.
