7. Conclusion Postwar Economic Prosperity
The end of the Cold War came as a result of economic stress & political changes in the Soviet Union
Postwar recovery by the industrial powers, Japan, the Asian Tigers, & ultimately China provided worldwide economic growth. International markets were more integrated & open than at any other time
Postwar Inequality
The new postwar prosperity has not been shared equally throughout the world. The capitalist West & a few Asian nations have grown more economically powerful, while most of the world’s nations remain poor
Population growth in developing nations has diminished chances for economic growth. People in developing nations began migrating increasingly to industrial nations, providing valuable labor for factories & farms
Growing inequality, population growth, & international migration remain problems for the global community
