Exercise 13

Use the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) World Factbook at http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook to look up the current economic situation in any one of the Eastern industrialized countries. Has GDP been increasing or decreasing? How high is the inflation rate? What are some of the standards of living (life expectancy, infant mortality rate, and so on)? How do these compare with other countries in the Eastern industrialized world?
