This has been really insightful learning about all the different aspects that affect how some countries have greater industrial potential than others and also how those countries can influence the global economy.

It's a great introductory course on the subject. I'll give it five stars, although I have to mention that the professor's vision falls short when he doesn't take a stand on attitudes toward neocolonial expansion in the USA, sort of selling the USA as worthy or major perpetrators of neocolonial expansion. I felt a greater lack of the professor's position, partly because I believe it is a thorny subject even within the American University and also the general population, something like: "God forbid to speak ill of the USA".
