Length/Depth/Speed and the Economy In poorer countries, like Chad, they will not go very far for their produce. Their economy will rely mainly on the villages around them. They will not feel deeply connected to other parts of the world because they don’t have products from other parts of the world. Products aren’t gained that quickly, because of a lack of information technology and transport. In richer countries, our economy is heavily reliant on countries which are a long distance from the UK. We have products from all around the world and therefore feel a deep connection with other countries. Trade can happen a lot faster because of technology and transport
