Tyler Coughlan, Chapter 13, Question #6

This chapters main focus was on the wealth of nations and how they were distinguished based on their economies and the different aspects of their economy and what areas a countries economy would thrive in or get destroyed in. The most interesting aspect for me that I never thought about before was geography. All the great economies are far away from the Tropic of Cancer line and Tropic of Capricorn like Europe and America. Ones that are near the line are central and South America and Africa. I always thought the tropical countries would be doing fine because of lots of tourism but in those areas the" high temperatures and heavy rainfall are bad for food production and conductive to the spread of disease. Those are huge problems for an economy that I didn't fully realize those countries suffered from until now.
