Question: 1. What is the meaning of economic development? In what way(s) is economic growth different from economic development? Is it possible for the whole world to be developed?

Also make comments to at least one of your cohort's posting very briefly but critically by Midweek.

2. Notice the following:

• The level and growth rate of real GDP per capita can be a misleading indicator of development.

• At the same time, countries that experience sustained increases in real GDP per capita over time will tend to be more developed.

• The use of more advanced technology may not be a sufficient condition for sustained economic growth.

Please comment with reference to human capital in your analysis. Also make sure to provide proper citations and references as part of your analysis.
