Solution Preview
- How has the “third world debt” (and managing of this crisis by the first world) altered the possibility of meaningful developments between various regions of the developing world?
Third world debt can be traced back to the post colonial era after World War II. During this time most of the developing countries had to depend on foreign funding to progress their economy at different levels. Albeit the fact that the debts taken were for meaningful use, the quantity of debt has become more than what most governments can pay. Most of the countries which took foreign debt mismanaged their economies and were later hit by economic stagnation in the eighties causing them to suffer debt. This problem has been observed in most of the third world countries and it has become a cause of international concern. As a result foreign countries have tried to help mitigate the problem of debt as it affects the growth of these countries. (“Reasons for Third World Debt | Economics Help,” n.d.)
