While countries located in northern Europe are considered to be some of the most economically advanced in the world, nations located in Sub-Saharan Africa seem to be unable to develop. While the inhabitants of the nation of New Zealand can enjoy a relatively prosperous life, those in nations such as Haiti permanently suffer the ravages of widespread destitution and persistent underdevelopment. But what is the reason for these profound inequalities that seem to endure between different countries? Why haven't all nations managed to develop more uniformly? And what will be needed for the populations of two separate nations located in different geographical regions to achieve equally high economic development? This book answers these questions by presenting an in-depth analysis using temperature as the fundamental unit of measurement to explain the reasons for the existing wealth gap between rich and poor nations. It also provides a robust economic framework that can be used as a basis to help implement policies to improve living standards in developing countries.
