Summary/Abstract |
RECENT statistics suggest that China, Japan, and South Korea are increasingly forming an economic unit comparable to the West. One naturally wonders whether this unit is going to become a formal association of some kind and whether such an association would counterbalance the West. There are no answers yet, but the three East Asian countries do possess the resources to form an economic center equal in scale and significance to the West. Let us tentatively label China, Japan, and South Korea the Far Eastern Economic Center (FEEC).

Summary/Abstract |
FROM THE VIEWPOINT of macroeconomic analysis, food production and agriculture are being increasingly pushed to the background because industrialization and urbanization are enhancing the role of industrial production and services in the structure of economy and employment. Economically advanced countries have traveled a long way in this respect. Developing countries and transitional economies follow suit. Even so food remains essential in sustaining human life. When crop failures cause shortages of food they hit hardest developing countries, but also affect developed regions via the world trade channels. What's more, food shortages cause social unrest, which sends streams of refugees from the worst-hit countries.

Summary/Abstract |
THE PRODUCTIVE FORCES of any society come together in a trio of components: natural resources, human labor and capital (or tools of labor), and technology. The significance of these three components underwent radical changes with the onset of the industrial revolution of the 18th century, and the development of machine production dramatically increased the role of capital and technology in the economic production cycle.

Summary/Abstract |
THE COVID-19 pandemic, which began as just another routine outbreak of infection in a region where many other virus infections are endemic (for example, influenza), became in a matter of months a global medical challenge to states and international institutions and a threat in many other respects [2].
