Answer:

Causes of stagflation in 1970:

1. The increase of oil prices and consequent increase of gasoline prices this phenomenon is known as cost push inflation.  

2. Higher level of unemployment

Explanation:

Stagflation is the lethargic economic growth, depicted in factors such as high unemployment, happening while there are high rates of inflation in a given economy.  

In 1970 the United States economy experienced stagflation because the oil prices reached historical high prices increases the cost of gasoline as well. As oil is the main raw material for producing gasoline the increase of oil prices caused a cost push inflation.

Usually economist believed that inflation was desirable as it was caused by the increase of demand, which mean that employment was being generated and therefore the need for consuming more goods and services was a logical explanation of the increase in demand. However, during the 70's this increase was the result of an externality (the increase of oil prices). At the same time the levels of unemployment rose in that decade creating the stagflation of the United States Economy.

How was infrastructure used in the 1800s by europeans in India and Africa?
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

The growth of the African population was aided by the Western medicine introduced by Europeans. Africans were introduced to formal education by Europeans. They also improved the African infrastructure with the addition of road systems, railroads, water, electricity, and communication systems.

In both cases the colonizing European powers introduced new infrastructure in order to benefit themselves economically. This infrastructure was intended to increase trade by exploiting the native country for goods and easily transporting them to port cities.

From the late 1800s through the early 1900s, Western Europe pursued a policy of imperialism that became known as New Imperialism. By the 1870, it became necessary for European industrialized nations to expand their markets globally in order to sell products that they could not sell domestically on the continent.
