Suppose
you have just been appointed to a high level position in the economic analysis
unit of the State Department. The secretary of state has asked you to prepare a
memo describing the key policies and economic arrangements that a specific less
developed country should follow in order to achieve rapid growth and higher
income levels. During your research, you discover that multiple Christian aid

describe your response (2–3 paragraphs). Be sure to indicate why each factor
you mention is important if a nation is going to attain a high level of
economic progress.

Using
the most recent available rankings of Economic Freedom available at http://www.heritage.org/index/ranking, indicate five of the
world’s economies that are the most free. Using textbook information, indicate

are less free.
