- The oldest and most economically, socially, and politically developed cities in the world are located on the coasts of the major continents. This is no surprise since water transportation is the oldest form of established transportation in the world. In the United States, cities like Philadelphia and New York were established centuries ago because of access to the Atlantic Ocean.However, a similar pattern can be found in the United States with inland cities, such as Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Detroit, Michigan. While these cities do not have access to coastal waters, they are situated near inland waterways. Also unique to these two cities was their manufacturing specialization: steel in Pittsburgh and automobiles in Detroit. 1. Explain what role transportation played in the development of these two cities.2. Discuss what factors would lead to their manufacturing specialization.3. Identify any other benefits to a city or geography that manufacturing specialization would create.arrow_forwardElroy Harris is considering whether to buy a corn and soybean farm in Iowa. The farm will cost $800,000, and Xander will be able to pay this from profits his recently deceased mother made on the stock market and willed to him. He estimates that if he does not run the farm, and keeps his current job as an economic forecaster, he will be able to earn $40,000 a year. The prevailing interest rate is 9 percent. Xander’s only motive is to maximize his income. His accountant tells him the annual profit from the farm is likely to be depending on certain conditions and assuptions: Scenario i) $160,000 of accounting profit Scenario ii) $100,000 of accounting profit Scenario iii) $50,000 of accounting profit Using the concept of positive economic profit, which of the three scenarios would the economic opportunity cost justify him taking up farming and quitting his job as an economic forecast.

- 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…arrow_forwardRegarding the previous page, consider you and your partner are able to sell your current property and invest in a small guest house in Blackpool, a seaside resort in the UK, for the same amount of money.
