Chapter 13 Question #6

In the reading of chapter 13 about development economics, it was interesting to learn about some of the economic policies and institutions that were put to work in other countries and the United States. A real world application that was almost scary to think about to me was that 2 billion people around the world live on less than $2 a day. When I thought about what it would be like if I had to live on $2 a day, there seemed to be no option but to starve myself simply because I do not have the budget in this scenario to eat every day. I guess I am just to used to society and city living that I often forget how good I have it in this world . Especially compared to those in developing countries. The real world application of having to live on $2 a day is just to much for me handle. I guess We should just keep living our city lives and remember how good Most of us have it!
