The correct answer is C. Alexandria, Egypt

Explanation:

The Hellenistic era refers to the historical period from the 323 BC to 31 BC during which the Roman Empire emerged. This historical period is mainly recognized due to the influence Greeks have in part of Europe, Asia, and Africa and the advancements achieve in multiple areas including literature, art, music, mathematics and other sciences. This included the construction of the Library of Alexandria (a Greek polis) located in Egypt (Africa) from 285 to 246 during the reign of Ptolemy II. It is believed this library contained around 500,000 papyrus scrolls with works related to different areas and the advancements of the Greek civilization. From these ideas, it can be concluded the library that was built during the Hellenistic era and contained 500,000 scrolls related to science and literary arts was the Library of Alexandria located in Egypt.

Alexander III of Macedon, known as Alexander the Great, was the king of the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedonia. He succeeded his father, King Philip II, on the throne, and he was twenty years old. Almost all his time, he devoted himself to an unseen invasion from Asia to northeast Africa, and created one of the greatest ancient empires until his thirties. The great contribution that his conquests had was enormous cultural development. He adopted the elements of all cultures in the countries he conquered. For example, on the basis of his cultural diffusion, Greco-Budhism was created.  He founded about twenty cities, bearing his name, especially Alexandria in Egypt. The influence of the Hellenistic culture is immeasurable, how, somewhat later in Rome, as well as in Byzantium, even today. He built the largest library of the ancient world in Alexandria, with books, scrolls  works of art and science from the entire empire.

The answer is C) Alexandria, Egypt

Según David Ricardo, el proceso productivo no es un proceso natural ya que la naturaleza no es generosa con el hombre, a no ser
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

Según David Ricardo, el proceso productivo no es un proceso natural ya que la naturaleza no es generosa con el hombre, a no ser que este la convierta en productiva y la adecue a sus intereses. En otras palabras, la renta surgía en un país no a causa de la liberalidad de la naturaleza sino de la avaricia, por lo tanto, la riqueza implicaba la pobreza de unos y el enriquecimiento de otros. Lo anterior significa que la acumulación de capital no es el nacimiento de una nueva riqueza sino el empobrecimiento de otros, porque  LO QUE GANABAN LOS TERRATENIENTES EN LA TIERRA LO PERDÍAN QUIENES TRABAJABAN EN ELLA.

Explanation:

David Ricardo fue un economista británico. Quizás su contribución más importante a la ciencia económica fue la ley de la ventaja comparativa, un argumento fundamental a favor del libre comercio entre países. Ricardo argumentó que el comercio (o intercambio) era beneficioso para ambas partes involucradas, incluso si una de las partes (por ejemplo, un país rico en recursos) era más productivo en cada área que su socio comercial (por ejemplo, un país pobre en recursos), siempre que ambas partes se concentraran en eso actividades donde tenían una ventaja relativa de productividad.

Ahora bien, estas ventajas no eran equitativamente distribuidas entre sus productores a distintos niveles: según su teoría de la renta diferencial, la renta de la producción económica se distribuía de forma desigual, siendo mayor para quien menos producía (el terrateniente), mientras el trabajador, que era el principal productor de riqueza, recibía una pequeña porción de esta. De esta forma, Ricardo interpretaba la renta de la tierra como el principal factor de riqueza de su época.
