Despite levels of wealth and development unparalleled(空前的) in history, billions of people on our planet are still uneducated, poorly housed, sick, inadequately fed or even starving as a result of poverty. Does this __36__ from economic development, or can a(n) __37__ tide of economic development give all humans a basic standard and dignity of life?
It’s important to realize that economic activity alone is not enough to __38__ poverty. In many poor countries, natural resources such as copper, oil or even land are being exploited by __39__ or foreign companies but with little __40__ for the local people. Nigeria’s oil wealth and Zimbabwe’s diamonds are __41__ where money leaves the country or does not help the majority. Secondly, economic activity can have devastating(毁灭*的) consequences for the __42__. Dam projects in India or the clearing of the rainforest can mean that local people __43__ the land and livelihoods. __44__, multinational companies are not tied to any country. Businesses move __45__ and outsource to find even cheaper labor or resources, leaving unemployed people behind them.
However, we can’t go back to a Stone-Age existence of barter(物物交换) and living in huts. More people than ever have __46__ to electricity, clean water, good schools, and medicine than ever before. Clothes, __47__ equipment such as phones, televisions and computers is cheap. All these things have __48__ through business and trade. They have provided income for governments to __49__ the life of their people. Secondly, other __50__ systems have failed: when India and China __51__ their markets and allowed people to do business, millions of people were lifted out of poverty. And __52__ in countries where companies pay low salaries or do not look after the environment, there are more __53__ for workers. What seems like a sweatshop in developing countries may be a first step in building a modern economy.
In conclusion, we can’t live without economic __54__. All that we and our government can do is try to make sure that it is __55__ the interests of our society and our environment.
