This course, taught by Professor Bernard Malamud at UNLV, explores the pressing question: Why aren’t all nations rich? Covering key themes such as human development, poverty, health, urbanization, and wealth distribution, students will engage with thought-provoking materials, including animations and comprehensive global health indicators. The course encourages critical thinking through comparative analysis of child mortality rates across different countries. Join us for a deeper understanding of global economic disparities and the factors influencing development.
