During the cold war, Third World means those who didn't belong to West or Soviet. There were "two worlds" and the Third World was the rest.
Nowadays we use this term to describe those who are still underdeveloped. So in a sense you can say the "developed countries" as First World, "developing countries" as Second World, and the rest as "Third World." Although we don't use the first two terms.

The essential cause you notice such poverty within the U.S. is NOT on the grounds that of reaganomics. It's on the grounds that of the insurance policies of the ever developing federal govt and the socialistic systems like social protection, medicare, medicaid and a number of others. If we had a real loose marketplace capitalist consultant republic, humans could be plenty larger off. Everybody has the possibility to grow to be wealthy(no longer up to in a real loose marketplace, however the possibility continues to be there). If they paintings truly tough and do not spend or make investments foolishly they are going to grow to be wealthy. Of path the extra you earn the extra the federal government punishes you on your luck. They confiscate a larger percent of YOUR cash to supply to those who THEY think deserve it. That manner you ought to paintings plenty tougher and longer to arrive your complete abilities. Not every person goes to get wealthy. Some are particularly content material incomes what they ought to reside easily and to be at ease of their retirement. Some humans simply love the paintings they do even though it is not very rewarding. There are a few who're pushed to earn up to they potentially can and nonetheless others who're passionate approximately their paintings which simply occurs to be VERY rewarding. NOBODY is claiming that everybody will also be wealthy. By that I imply that each and every man or women within the nation goes to get wealthy. However, every person has the possibility and the liberty to check out, in the event that they CHOOSE. Ahhh, freedom, the forgotten improvement of the capitalist loose marketplace United States of America.
