Abstract

Do the imbalances in current accounts still matter in today’s deep global financial markets that exhibit two-way gross economic flows that dwarf the new outcomes provided by current accounts?

The increasingly massive valuation differences in nations’ net global investment standards and positions, as well as risk allocations, cannot be relied upon to offset the variations in regional wealth systematically as implied in the current accounts.

These parties do not have economic agendas for the nation because of their lack of an idea about their country’s economic status.

After independence, bourgeoisies undergo considerable stagnation due to the lack of capital and inability to adapt to the road to revolution. Scarce managerial talent and precarious resources force bourgeoisies to focus on ...
