Abstract
This paper looks at the various type of pollution created when a country begins the process of economic development. It compares the types of pollution generally encountered in underdeveloped countries to countries undergoing the process of industrialization. Also, discussed in this paper, are the ways that the industrialization process can spread pollution, the types of industry that contribute to pollution and how the fuels needed to support these industries create even more pollution.
From the Paper
"Once industrial development takes place, the process of pollution affects air, ground and water. Plants and factories produce suspended particulates, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, ozone and lead. (Edgmand et al, 1996) At one time, it was thought that the harmful effects of these manufacturing byproducts became naturally neutralized by the wind, and in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, smokestacks were built to great heights to achieve this goal. However, all that happened was that the pollution was dispersed to other areas; for example, Scandinavia became the victim of industrial pollution from Germany and Great Britain."

Abstract
Within the Third World, development has been and will continue to be an important goal or objective. However, it has also become apparent that development is not achieved without some costs. More specifically, the relationship between economic development and pollution is evident. In effect, as economies have developed, this development seems to have been invariably associated with some amount, if not a significant amount, of damage to the environment. With this in mind, the purpose of this paper will be to examine the historical relationship between economic development and pollution. The Jay Forrester work entitled "World Dynamics" is used.

Abstract
This essay deals with a number of economic issues raised by air pollution in developed and developing countries. The general argument is that although developed and developing countries have similar issues to deal with when it comes to air pollution, there are also important differences between the developed and developing countries in terms of air pollution. The paper goes on to say that the first major difference was the sources of air pollution. In developed countries air pollution mostly comes from motor vehicles like car, trucks and SUVs. In developing countries air pollution is coming from industrialization, car use and increasing energy consumption. In both developed and developing countries air pollution is a by-product of other economic activities.

Abstract
This paper attempts to estimate what the real total economic cost of the Vietnam War was to the United States. The paper concludes that a reasonable estimate of the economic impact of the Vietnam War on the American economy is that an entire year's worth of productive activity was used to fight the war.
From the Paper
"The Vietnam War was the defining experience for a generation of Americans. Indeed, it is arguably one of the defining experiences of America as a whole in the Twentieth Century. Its impact on the men who fought there, the men (and women) who did not, the American military in general, American society and popular culture during and following the war has been well documented. However, it was not just a life changing experience for soldiers and protestors, or a force for social change, or even an inspiration for thousands of books and dozens of movies. War is not least an economic event. In addition to being a military defeat, a political blunder and a human tragedy, the Vietnam War was also an economic disaster."

" Thailand's Economic Crisis and the
"Triangle of Impossibility" Economic Model
Introduction
The "Triangle of Impossibility" economic model theorizes that it is dangerous, if not impossible for a small economy to maintain three desirable (politically) yet contradictory national goals. When it does, the end result is a macroeconomic crisis like the one currently going on in Thailand today (Na Thalang, 1997, 14). The three paths that Thailand is pursuing, suggests Na Thalang, are a fixed foreign exchange regime, free capital movement, and an independent monetary policy. After a brief economic snapshot of Thailand, these three divergent paths will be explored to determine if: A) the theory is valid, and B) if it.."

De-Pollution, 2002.
A discussion on the environmental concerns of pollution from an economic perspective.

»

Abstract
This paper is an analysis on the economic perspective of 'de-pollution'. First, some of the dilemmas of addressing environmental concerns will be examined from an economic perspective, and to a lesser extent, a political or ideological perspective. Following the discussion of the 'problems' or 'dilemmas' of pollution concerns, from an economic perspective, this analysis will address some of the solutions proposed, and second, examine these proposed solutions in light of some of the criticisms which have been raised and anticipated by the theories in question. Concerning this latter section, it will be argued that in general, the economic perspective can be understood as trying to establish policies which will maintain the core principles of a market economy, namely, profit motive.

The author points out that air pollution puts an added demand on Ontario's health care providers, which are already overburdened. The paper relates that the consequence is that the Ontarian taxpayer is paying more tax dollars to support this growing health care problem. The author also explores potential solutions to the problem.

Background and the Problem
Economics of Air Pollution
Potential Solutions and Conclusion
From the Paper
"The Suzuki Foundation cites thee areas in which the government could have an impact on reducing air pollution: Tax shifting by taxing air polluters extra and adopting tax breaks for environmentally friendly practices; eliminating perverse subsidies as described above; and increasing investment in the environment to drive down the cost of energy renewable resources such as solar and wind power.
"However, our research shows that governmental intervention by the Canadians or Ontarians cannot solely solve the problem."

From the Paper
"Economic growth is the increase in value of goods and services produced by an economy. It can be measured as a percent change in the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Growth is essential for the development of any country. Ensuring that the benefits of high economic growth are more widely distributed is vital for making such growth sustainable (Anonymous, 2007)."
"One of the most noticeable features of the Nigerian economy is that the majority of the Nigerian population is poor and stricken with widespread poverty and disease. This reflects in the low GDP per capita of the country."

From the Paper
"Major air pollutants include carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, photochemical oxidants, particulate matter and lead. Additionally, a wide variety of other chemical gasses, mists, fumes and particles have the potential to pollute the air. Some seemingly harmless substances, such as wheat flour, may be considered local pollutants when dust impairs the breathing of workers.
Three air pollutants are frequently discussed together due to interrelated chemistries. These include hydrocarbons (HC), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and photochemical oxidants, especially ozone (O3). The family NOx includes nitrogen oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), ammonia (NH3) and other nitrogen ... "

Abstract
In this paper the author looks at how the currency of South Korea, the won, de-valuated greatly against the American dollar. The author looks at how this devaluation affected South Korea's economy in that several of its businesses are on the verge of bankruptcy, unable to repay their massive foreign and domestic debts. The author looks at the request by South Korea for help from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the proposed plan by the IMF. In conclusion, the author states that there are clearly two parties of thought, some who believe the IMF plan will work and South Korea's economy will blossom and others who believe it will continue to deteriorate.

From the Paper
"The economic strategy emphasizing exports had produced a shortage of domestic consumer goods that was exacerbated by the increasing demands brought about by rising wages and the advance in living standards. Price controls imposed on producers of consumer goods discouraged the manufacture of these goods, and the rapid inflow of dollars expanded the money supply and inflation became a serious problem.
President Park addressed these problems by replacing the economic team in December 1978 and adopting stabilization measures. However, these methods caused a recession, produced a series of bankruptcies among small and medium loan-dependent enterprises, and increased unemployment. This situation was similar to Korea's current economic problems. However, foreign aid continued to flow into the country and the government and large companies were able to continue servicing their debts."

Abstract
The Civil Rights movement of the 1960s was not a movement for equality in the social or political sense; rather, it was a movement to bring an end to economic inequality and exploitation by the elites. Common perception holds that the Civil Rights movement sought to gain certain political and social rights and equalities. Measures such as the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act reinforced such flawed perceptions. However, when the works of the leaders of the Civil Rights movement are consulted, it is discovered that they were seeking economic equality. They believed that the fundamental cause of racism was a flawed economic system. It is important to note that they did not believe that poverty in the traditional sense caused racism and inequality. They believed, especially King and Carmichael, that the entire economic system of the United States and of the world was inherently flawed. This essay explore? their arguments why racism was based on economics, why the system was flawed, and how they hoped to change the system.

Abstract
The paper explains that after the Iran-Iraq war, Iran implemented two social and economic development plans. It explains that the first plan was largely concerned with the country's economy. The paper explains that the second plan was created based on the failures and accomplishments of the first plan. It explains that the second plan focused mainly on the basic economic needs of the population and protecting the environment because air and soil pollution had reached critical levels. The writer details the air pollution problem and the health effects it is having on the population. The writer discusses the laws imposed by the government to help solve the air pollution problems, focusing on the laws regarding transportation. The paper discusses the recommended course of action to decrease the air pollution. In conclusion, the writer states that should Iran choose not to undertake the recommended course of action to reduce air pollution, the death and disease rate alone will be prohibitively expensive in terms of capital expense and in terms of overall economic degradation.
From the Paper
"The long term effects of increasing levels of air pollution are more drastic. An average lowering of the general public health will have to be compensated for by an increase in government and personal spending in the medical sector. The Iran Greens, an independent, private agency operating in Tehran, claimed that an increasing rate of heart disease, lung ailments and cancers are a direct result of air pollution. They also maintained that stress and anxiety syndromes are similarly related to the environmental poisons. This weakening of overall public health is not only a medical crisis, it is an economic one. Iran's primary work force is in danger of retiring earlier, dying younger and raising unhealthy children. The burden of this trend will be shouldered by a government that is still in the process of developing its economic resources to their fullest potential. "
