Answer to Question 1

Drawing on this and the first chapter, the key variables would be higher per capita GDP, changes in the structure of output, reduction of poverty, and increasing life expectancy and levels of education. The limitations of the GDP data should be noted as well as the general problem of reliable data from governments with limited data-gathering capabilities.

Answer to Question 2

You may look for a discussion of the role of modern values in the development process,
as on Pages 1214 of the text.
