Discuss 3 main ideas
Connect these ideas with concepts and theories regarding development presented in module 3 and any application from Ch 1 & 2

First present your ideas and then support them with theories and concepts

Sam Anders set up a bank for short term borrowing

When jamica was free they didn’t have an ecomic strength to rebuild

1973 Oil increases and they dream of making money , but went to bank to make money

when you borrowed money you cut back spending so the cutbacks aren’t severe
Jamaica cant finance what it needs, no money for food or building up an economy.

Bank didn’t let borrow long term
