Our country’s economy has a number of weaknesses, such as institutional regime, financial system, geography, and technology innovation. However, before we are going to talk about economy weaknesses of our country, we should know a little background of how our country growing economy and getting weaknesses. Firstly, back into 1820, our country was developed very fast to become the world’s second largest economy (the globalist, 2014). Then, we were successfully reached to the world’s largest economy. Next, because we were grown economic very fast, ours GDP reached to 84% of the global average during that time. After that during 19th century our economy was slightly declined because Western grew wealthier due to Industrial Revolution (the globalist, …show more content…
As you can see the main problem that our country faced is growing economy too fast, but we can’t be equally distributed the economy benefits to all regions of the country. Therefore, these problems lead our country to economy weaknesses point affected to standard living of people in country. To begin with first institutional regime issues, enforcement of laws is a significant problem of our country because legislative body has played a weak role in governance system that largely controlled by the party (Zeng&Wang, 2007). According to economy investment in our country should regularly cover by sufficient set of law, but enforcement of law is still insufficiency. In a word means our government institution lacks to ensure success of businesses, which can affect to workers. For instance, because of overpopulated in our country, so they might increase unemployment rates. Thus, this first weakness can affect to the degree of investment, and productivity development of both foreign and local companies. For a second, financial system is one major problem because financial market is hardly provide investment options for China’s huge saving (Zeng&Wang, 2007), or in short financial market doesn’t provide much more investment option for domestic business. That means private firms have much difficult access to get external credit. Therefore, this is one problem for people who live and do business in our country to expand their business including job markets for workers, or planning to begin with new business to increase employment rates. Moving into third issues about geography because our country is a big country, there is a gap between developed and undeveloped areas. Even thought, we have
During the early 20th century, the United States was going through various drastic changes in a short period of time. The United States was swept away by an economic boom in the 1920's that was filled with promises of abundance and prosperity. This was the turn of the Glided Age, which witnesses the growth of tremendous fortunes and industrial capacity amid economic uncertainty and the advent of the modern America. Turning point for the United States because it resulted in becoming a global consumer power. The mass-production and mass-consumption flourished during this time period and as a result, it was the result of the Urbanization if the United States.
As Appleby demonstrated, one development in one part of the world lead to development in other parts. For example, when Appleby began to discuss the 19th century, she took a unique approach by not focusing on the success of the British “… but rather tell how Germany and the United States were able to pass Britain and take a commanding lead among world economies” (Appleby 164). However, without the British developing technically the
The Articles of Confederation was one of the first official documents of the United States. From the beginning of the American Revolution, Congress felt the need for a stronger union and a government powerful enough to defeat Great Britain. During the early years of the war this desire became a belief that the new nation must have a constitutional order appropriate to its republican character. However, after a few short years the Articles were replaced by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The Articles were a stepping stone which led to the Constitution however the Articles contained more weaknesses than strengths which forced the colonists to get rid of them and create a new document.
The primary weakness of the Articles of Confederation is that each state retained all sovereignty over itself. Sovereignty is defined as ultimate authority over someone, something, or someplace. Although the National Government had enough power, it gave too much to the states. This lead to a plethora of problems that harmed the government of the United States under the Articles of Confederation. One example of this was the states did not have to pay the government taxes.
I choose to defend the prompt of my choice in more detail. In the 1870's, as the Civil War receded into memory, the United States became a leading Industrial power. Advances in technology and new access to the immense resources of the North American continent drove American Industrialization. This industrialization brought the growth of new American cities such as Chicago, and the arrival of a flood of immigrants from all over Europe to man the factories. During the Gilded Age, businessmen reaped enormous profits from this new economy.
The American Industrialization was in the late 1800’s making many things to improve the economy. The American Industrialization was caused by multiple factors, some of the factors included a growing population, a willing work force, high tariffs, among many more. These effects made people willing to work at lower wages so they can get jobs and buy American made goods. There were many outcomes of the Industrial Revolution, both positive, like improving people's lives, and negative effects, like exploitation of workers. The positive effects of American Industrialization is how it make work cheaper, employed thousands of workers, and improving people’s lives.
America was left with an enormous problem after the civil war, thousands of unskilled people. But, through strategic decisions this would lead to tremendous industrial growth. Industrialization grew rapidly during the period of 1860-1900 as a result of a verity of factors .Technological advancements, monopolies, and political assistance would all contribute in making America one of the leading global powers.
But after the civil war there were many changes which took place in United States and their wealth also increased. After World War II, the United States emerged as economically stable and prosperous country. American companies were growing rapidly and both major parties of World War II were committed for making Economic reforms and keep unemployment low. Therefore the United States led a system was developed called as Bretton Woods system to equally divide the share between the nations. The US dollar was made common currency for trade which made the United States a global leader and it was advantage for United States companies to do trade in their national currency.
The United States began to enter a prosperous and increasing period after the civil war known as industrialization. Despite the fact that industrialization led the United States to wealth, it also led it to many social and economic problems during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. During this time, Upton Sinclair and Andrew Carnegie were the people who responded to the economic and social problems generated by industrialization. Andrew Carnegie was one of the wealthy men in America and was very charitable, he impacted the United States with his steel to transform cities. During these economic and social problems generated by industrialization, he responded by providing money to fund charities.
In the 19th century following the collapse of slave trade, the expansion of European capitalist called the Industrial Revolution. The industrialization included demand of raw materials which lead to the conquest of Africa. However the result of industrialization lead to homelessness, unemployment and poverty. During this time period, there were machines and factories which brought about mass production.
Between the year of 1865 and the year of 1920, the United States moved towards becoming a more industrialized and developing society. With this change taking place, resulted in improvement with how people live with family and earned money differently. The three major aspects of industrialization during the 1865 and 1920 that influenced the politics, economy and society of the United States are: entrepreneurship, technology, as well as transport and communication network. Entrepreneurship: the period after the Civil War from 1865 to 1920 was characterized by fast economic growth in the country.
After the Civil War, the United States (U.S.) started industrializing in the early nineteenth century, bringing revolutionary revisions to America’s society and its industries. The abundance of natural resources, new inventions, and continuously immigrating workers, along with the creation of the free enterprise system and a spur of railroads, enabled the country to industrialize successfully. Soon America’s small towns were transformed into large cities filled with factories. In the late 1800s, a period known as the Gilded Age came about, suggesting that America’s industrialization and urbanization had two facets. On the surface, the U.S. showcased golden success and prosperity, while the interior aspect began to unveil the unsettling realities
Late 19th century, the United States became the leading industrial nation in the world which transformed the national economy of the nation during the period called Gilded Age. The most influential development of this era were the new inventions of the inventors, who invented new ideas and new products which led to a rise of big business. The inventors mostly controlled the nationwide industries, factories and had much control over the government and people who owned small business. Because of these new inventions the American life was changed and there was a drastic growth in the urban areas, there were significant changes in the transportation, agriculture, communication, and there was a demand in the labor union because of the newly built factories and industries. The life of this era was seemed to be constantly in motion as big businesses were rising and the life of every American got busier and busier because of the newly invented products.
The Articles of the Confederation was the first government constitution that the United States used, and, although there were strength like the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, there were major weaknesses of the Articles of the Confederation like the following: requiring 9 out of the 13 colonial votes from the representatives from different states to pass a law; having no executive and judicial branch; and the federal government being unable to impose tax revenue onto the states. Such flaws would eventually lead to the Constitution and the repeal of the articles, for the Constitution was a measure to fix the problems of the articles with a stronger government that allowed them to impose taxes and and implement new laws for a more effective government.
The growth of economy led to more invention, inventors would start to invent new machines that increase the living quality of people and created jobs in Britain. Some inventors started to invent bomb or other weapons for armies and navy from wars. At the same time the military in Britain started to grow, soldieries are been trained more rapid and instance, so they will be ready to go to war at any time. These strong military protect their country, economy and also their family. The stable government lent itself to industrial development as market enterprise and entrepreneurship were encouraged, by having established banking system and stable government.
