This course will focus on why some countries are unable to benefit from capitalism by its inability to produce capital.
Upon the completion of this course, you will be able to:
1). Discuss the disparity of wealth between the West and the rest of the world.
2). Identify why developed countries’ poor are not given the conditions to produce wealth.
3). Understand the process by which West injects life into assets and make them generate capital, and why this is not achieved in the rest of the world.
4). Analyze how capital is revealed and extracted from the assets we accumulate.
