Question

“The desire for profit can end up pushing countries toward producing those goods in which they have a comparative advantage.” Do you agree or disagree? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

I agree.

Explanation:

It is one of the best known concepts of classical economics: countries should specialize in producing products where they can enjoy a comparative advantage. This means that if a country can produce something with better conditions than the ones enjoyed by another country, then it should do. Though tecnological advances have allowed for agriculture´s and industry´s adaptation to hostile environments, comparative advantage is a criterion used to determine whether to engage in an economic activity.
