Question

James, a student of economics, argues that high-income countries benefit because the poor countries provide cheap labor and are subjected to exploitation by the rich nations as they are not powerful enough to protest. Which of the following theories supports James's opinion?

A) ​Symbolic interaction theory
B) ​Feminist theory
C) ​Modernization theory
D) ​Dependency theory
E) ​Queer theory

Answer 1
