Based on your research, write a summary of 750 words on what you have learned about this country’s economy. How would you rate the overall economic well-being for this country? Provide your rationale. Contrast two or three key economic factors for this country with the U.S. economy and comment. For example, if per capita GDP is significantly lower in this country than in the United States, what might this imply?
