Answer: The invisible hand

Explanation: if individuals are allowed to pursue their own selfish interest, the world will be as if guided by invisible hand. Because it is not the benevolent of the baker to bake bread but knew that people will definitely demand for his product. If individual is allowed to act on their selfish interest, the society as a whole will benefit from it.

government and the wealthy benefit from the existence of the poor and this is the main reason why poverty continues to exist bri
seropon [69]

Answer:

Poverty and wealth are often found side by side. They are two dimensions in our world that are interrelated because they affect each other and influence both the willingness and capacity of states to ensure a stable global system. Traditional approaches to IR are premised on the notion of state sovereignty. But, sovereignty as an absolute concept that reinforces separation between states has been tempered through the many processes of globalisation, including economic agreements and the establishment of international organisations, as well as with the emergence of human rights thinking as captured through the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. With respect to the emergence of human rights thinking, the premise goes that in the context of a common set of universal rights based on the individual, the sovereignty of the state can be challenged if a government does not respect or maintain these rights. Here, sovereignty means that a state does not only maintain rights, it also meets its responsibilities. Poor people are cheated out of their savings and the rich flaunt their money like it's honest and hard worked generated money.

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

The goals of the U.N is to keep nations from warring with each other and it basically prevents a nation from  taking over the world, and it does its job better than the league of nations did. The U.N is mainly democratic and it deals with foreign policies in the US almost the exact same because both will first try to stop any conflict, and if that does not work start to stop trade, and if that does not work then intervene with military force to stop the conflict. domestic problems and foreign problems are discussed with through a vote in the UN and the US, if the vote wins to intervene in a war the UN intervenes,  if the vote that involves not intervening in a war wins the UN does not intervene.
