Economic development and the factors that contribute to it have been a topic of discussion among economics scholars. Economists have studied the concept of economic development but have different opinions about what exactly constitutes development in an economy.

Achieving economic development in a country is not a day's work; it requires a long-term process of designing policies, establishing institutions, and examining factors that can actualize it. Therefore, this book answers the big question of what economic development is and factors that influence it.

This Earth, the third planet in our Solar system, was formed over four and a half billion years ago. It is the densest of all plants, and the most massive and largest of the known four rocky planets. Our Earth has a total surface area of 510 million km2, of which about 71% is below sea level (i.e. covered with water). This leaves the remaining 29% for the about 7.7 billion people that live upon this Earth.

The prime goal of every living thing upon the face of the Earth is to survive. Whether it is food, water, shelter, security or the wants and needs - each living thing – be it mankind, animals, plants and trees, birds of the air, living things in the ocean – are many and are insatiable.

Focusing on mankind, the 7.7 billion people (and counting) that live on this Earth are spread over seven earth surface areas known as continents. These continents are North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and Antarctica. The land composition and use, physical characteristics, weather, climate, and atmospheric conditions, and natural resources vary considerably from one continent to another.

Considering mineral and natural resources, Africa is reported to be the richest of all the seven continents. Notwithstanding this, no continent has an abundance of every single resource that it needs. In every continent except for Antarctica, there are countries and territories. In the same vein, countries and territories vary in available resources. What a continent or country lacks, another has it in abundance or in excess. It is an obvious fact that no continent, country, or territory has all the resources that its citizens need for survival.

While various natural and mineral resources have been discovered in various parts of the world, some are already being mined, explored, processed, and used in a meaningful and beneficial way. Others are being wasted, while some are not in use at all. What is not needed in one part of the world or in excess in another, is desperately needed in another part of the world. Also, it is a known fact that there are many resources yet to be discovered in every country and continent. Our entire Earth is yet to be 100 percent explored.

So, what are resources and which ones are available in each continent and country? What are their likely uses? In what quantities and forms do these resources exist in those countries and continents? To what extent can these resources be mined, explored, refined, and processed? What is their likely end-products?

These are some of the questions that will be explored in this book. Since no one has it all, knowing about these resources will not only help readers to know where to turn for the resources we need, but it might also help us to manage what we have in a better way.

Like many Americans, you’re probably wondering how we got to this polarized place in the political life of the nation. You know something’s wrong, but you can’t quite put your finger on it.
The Political Problem At Hand: A Journey Through The Democratic & Republican Parties & What Holds Us Back seeks to provide a response. Americans, by and large, are deeply rooted in the mythology and folklore of our country.
The old tropes are dear to us and yet they’re far too often deployed in the service of ideology in the political world. And while the signature/core policies of both parties are ostensibly geared to the wellbeing of the American people, ideology insinuates itself, making bipartisan progress difficult – at times impossible. How much of that has to do with political parties and their machinery and how much of it has to do with us? Where do these ideologically driven contentions which hypnotize us come from?
This book outlines how the two major political parties have traded places, policy-wise, where they both stand now and how history informs us that the policies of the Democrats and Republicans have become tainted by ideology. We’ll cover how that happened, how it distorts policy and how our own, personal beliefs are often exploited in the service of one party or the other ascending to power.
Take a trip through American history, mythology and political history with me. Read about what the two parties stand for. Then, find out what you can do to help our nation reach a more perfect Union, which has been liberated from ideology in government.
