For years economists thought that countries throughout the world would follow a the same basic pattern for economic development. It was thought that with some initial capital investment, nations would continue on a path from pre-industrial agrarian societies to industrialization. However, many today hold that these theories are highly misleading when they are applied to developing nations today. The situation faced by developing nations today are very different than those faced by the developed nations when they were going through economic development.
Among the new realities facing developing nations are a much larger population, fewer natural resources, and a poorer climate. Most importantly, today’s developed nations did not have other powerful developed nations to contend with during their early process of development. This means that it is much more difficult for poor nations today to achieve economic development.
