    Zambia was first noticed by Europeans because it had a vibrant copper industry and a well-off economy. The European powers that controlled Zambia used it for its copper revenue and upon gaining its independence it was thought that Zambia would survive in the changing world. Unfortunately for Zambia, this was not the case. As oil prices started to rise at an exponential rate, the price of copper started to decline in the same way. Zambia wasn’t making enough money from the copper they were producing and they were spending too much on fuel to help mine the copper. As a last resort to help get them out of debt, the Zambian government turned to a Neoliberalist institution known as the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Being told that copper prices would eventually rise, the Zambian government borrowed money from the IMF to pay off their debt. When the stubborn copper prices refused to rise Zambia was forced to continue to borrow money and thereby put them more and more into debt. This event was the catalyst that ignited the fall of Zambia’s economy forever.…

    Housing markets in most cities are ran by the government. This involvement typically takes the form of market regulations. An initiative practiced in several communities is Inclusionary Housing. This process works with the government by requiring developers of new market-rate real estate to sell a percentage of units in their new development at below-market rates. In general, the more people in the economy, the greater the demand for housing. Growing cities increase the prices in housing. For cities struggling with economic integration, or displacement of low-income residents due to rising housing costs, inclusionary housing offers a very tangible solution. This strategy though, which has existed for years, has a long list of pros and cons…

In effect, the ultimate goal of a structural adjustment program is to help indebted countries pay off their debts and have a revitalised economy that will sustain future debt payment.…
