Answer to Question 1

Students may want to focus on natural resources and capital goods, but should emphasize human capital, especially education and acquisition of skills. Such an emphasis can help explain both parts of the question.

Answer to Question 2

The last tables in the chapter provide clues to this question. Developing countries range from very poor to relatively well off, from depending largely on agriculture to being more industrial, and exhibiting a range of reliance on foreign trade. These alone can account for significant differences of interests among them.
