Trade, tariffs, rich and poor countries, sentence 4
Some countries are rich and some poor for many reasons, like history, wars, education, resources and how well things are run; printing more money does not fix it, because the same amount of food with twice the money just means twice the prices.
Who acts: countries, printing, same amount · What happens: be, run, print, not fix, mean, amount · To what, where: more money, money, prices, food
This is a sentence of the lesson «Trade, tariffs, rich and poor countries» of the money course of Mova's primary school.
