Biggest challenges are mainly to do with environmental concerns politics and legislation, labour requires more money as people are becoming more and more skilled, large businesses are undercutting smaller ones by outsourcing key business processes to 3rd world countries or countries with cheaper labour costs, (indina china), in Africa its governments that are affect businesses, a change in government in africa does not gurantee current standards will remain the same african governments have been known to bury businesses that have existed for 20+years withing a single day, they create a very much volatile environment to do business in and fail to maintain policy from one government to the next one governement will have completely different ideas as to the other, businesses in africa face skilled labour shortage because of the HIV virus, and brain drain most africans migrating to first world nations. In asia Government policies is major concern , in middle east more or less terrorism creating a volatile environment for business in Europe and USA more to do with legislation volitlity of economy is understandable, a last factor is cost of fuel impacts severly on every resource.

Nature will take care of that problem. Once the Earth's resources are depleted and human population starts to wane then economies will crumble (a healthy economy is built around a growing population), famine and disease will be rampant. At least 80% of the human population will perish.\n\nNow aren't you glad you asked.

I’ve never studied Economics, so please forgive me if I write something stupid...\n1. What is the reason for globalisation? It’s the needs and the expansion of companies.\n2.  What can be the consequence? Strong interdependence and a lot more. We know from history that a best example what can happen was the Great Depression of the 1930s or the Oil Crisis in the 1970s. In the present news are all about this problem. If there were no duties, the poor areas (Africa, Asia, South America) could either rise or fall even deeper.\n\nThat’s all I can figure out on my own.\nHere’s a more professional aid:

Factors that are detrimental to a nation's growth vary from one nation to another. However the prominent factors are- a high population growth rate, high rate of unemployment and social and income inequalities. These along with secondary factors like inflation, corruption etc. retard the growth of developing nations.

It really depends of what you mean to be bad. If you're talking like huge coastal flooding and climate that is not suitable for living, I suppose that will be 50 to 70 years away, if the current pattern keeps going on.\n\nAnother less eye catching, yet really compelling item that can destroy the world is the spread of disease. Bird flu is definitely emerging and the other unknown disease are also huge threats to the world. With all the international travel, half the earth's population may die in a year in case of an out break of those deadly diseases. That's should be what we fear more about at the moment.

They imagine that our fate is tied to that of the rest of the world. It is probably very little money compared to the numbers flowing through. Security in the world means less problems that will come to us. As a world leader we must somewhat appease the envy and jealousy that many have for us even if it can be costly. Fighting diseases in other places is also in our interest to stop before it becomes an epidemic that affects us directly or stews and grows mutating into something far more deadly to us all.

Most likely "world expansion".  If "industrial revolution" were a topic, that would be a better category.  The fire, which killed numerous women and children who worked in near forced labor conditions at the factory, was one of the worst industrial fires of all time.

Well there's the debate whether if those effects are positive or negative in first and third world countries.  In a little more than 10 years after the creation of the WTO the world's poor nations became poorer and the rich nations wealthier.  I think any economic policy to be implemented ought to involve social development as well... it doesn't make sense to make the global exchange more efficient if the majority of people will suffer from it in the end.

That's a stretch, AT BEST.  \n\nTake bird flu for instance.  It would affect most countries, regardless of race/region/etc.  \n\nThe potential worldwide economic fallout from that would not discriminate.

Hypothetically speaking, I'm not entirely sure the world will exist in 10 years the way current world affiars are going what with the nuclear tension in Iran and North Korea...But I predect the economy will be better if we're still around.

Bank Balance.\nLet's be frank here, world peace can easily be achieved through world tyranny as it could be from mutual understanding and harmony. I don't see a big problem with strife and conflict in the world if it is in the name of fighting injustice. And survival is important to me. If my bank balance doesn't allow me to survive, that is bad.

i hope not.  Because ALL the people in the US are contributing to the economy.  Just think of the monetary implications it would have on the stock market and economy.   It scares me
