The Harrod-Domar model model is aligned with the traditional approach, or the linear stages
of growth model, wherein its measurements of a developed country are quantity based, like
allowing actual savings, investments, and other foreign relations within the country. This model
focused on the role of capital investment which stresses the importance of having more assets as
a basis for economic growth. Consequently, it posits a relationship with the GDP growth rate: it
is directly proportional to the national net savings (s) rate and inversely proportional to the
national capital-output ratio (c).
2. In essence, international-dependence models consider developing nations as being afflicted by
local and international, economic, institutional, and political constraints and locked in a
dependency and dominating relationship with wealthy nations. However, in severe cases, they
advocate for the complete takeover of privately run assets in the belief that public asset control
and ownership will be a more effective and efficient means of eradicating absolute poverty,
expanding opportunities for employment, reducing income disparities, and enhancing the
standard of living (including education, health, employment, and cultural progressiveness) of the
masses.
The neocolonial dependence model¨ We can relate this approach to Karl Marx's Marxism, in
which social structure is present like the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. The bourgeoisie here is
from the developed countries, while the proletariats are the developing countries. We can see
how the high-income people are more privileged than the middle or low-income class. The
inequality between both parties is emphasized in this model in which the inability to develop an
economy was not the result of exploitative or capitalistic forces. Instead, it was primarily the
result of excessive government involvement and economic regulation.
