Thomas Shogren, Chapter 13, Question #6

The passage that struck me as being significant was the part where Wheelan says that just because economists have a theory on how good economies develop doesn't mean that it translates into good economies. When he began to list off similarities of good economies I began to question why we haven't fixed the economies of some countries. Then he used the analogy of Tiger Woods. Just because you can describe how Tiger Woods is a good golfer doesn't mean that you can play like him. Once Wheelan said that I really understood the many problems in trying to help out the economies of poor countries. Just because it is a similarity between good economies, it doesn't mean that it will work for every economy.
