Answer:
If by Dark Ages, we mean the Middle Ages, then, one can safely say that business did more to bring the dark ages to an end and restore the world to civilization and progress.
The Middle Ages represented a decline in several areas, especially trade, when compared with classical antiquity (Ancient Greece and Rome).
By the late Middle Ages, several cities, especially in Italy, had began to develop trade networks again, and a merchant class was emerging.
With time, more cities became trade hubs, and this prompted economic development. Businesses grew, science and technological progress increased, and in general terms, civilization advanced more quickly in a few centuries than in the past millenia.
I don't think there's anything more annoying than the ISP monopolies, specifically Comcast which has most of the US I believe. They never bother to upgrade their services only their prices and stupid cable bundle packages. I'm lucky enough to live in a large metropolitan area where a new fiber internet company just started up but before this last year there were only two ISP choices; Comcast or Century link. Suburban and rural areas typically only get one choice; expensive slow internet service from a local ISP monopoly.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
A country gains from trade if it specialises in the production of the good for which it has a comparative advantage
A country has comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared to other countries. this means that the country can produce the good by forgoing fewer alternative products
For example, country A produces 10kg of beans and 5kg of rice. Country B produces 5kg of beans and 10kg of rice.
for country A,
opportunity cost of producing beans = 5/10 = 0.5
opportunity cost of producing rice = 10/5 = 2
for country B,
opportunity cost of producing rice = 5/10 = 0.5
opportunity cost of producing beans = 10/5 = 2
Country A has a comparative advantage in the production of beans and country B has a comparative advantage in the production of rice
