🔍 Placement in curriculum

The chapter's position suggests potential themes (though not confirmed by the excerpt):

• Follows inequality and poverty topics → may connect distributional issues to development
• Precedes socialist transition economies → may contrast development paths or systems
• Appears near the end of the textbook → likely builds on earlier macro concepts
