In this source there is a cortoon of a child representing the world. The child is playing with blocks representing trading blocs. In the back there are the childs parents saying "he seems to be regressing". I think what the author is trying to say is that trade blocs are taking the worlds economy in the wrong direction. In my opinion i'd say the author is a big supporter of free trade because he feels theres more room for economic growth. that's why he chose to depict the world as a child and trade blocs as a childs toy to show that we need to grow out of our old habits (trading blocs) and into something where we can invest more economically such as combining the trade blocs or simply creating free trade agrrements for all the countries.
In this source there are two pictures. The first picture is of a conqueror holding a flag and he is saying" i claim this land in the name of his majesty...". The secon picture is of a buisness man holding an IMF flag and he is saying '' i structurally adjust this land in the name of economic growth". Then undermneath both of them it says progress. In my opinion i think the author is trying to say that a long time rich countres would ncrease their wealth by claiming new lands. In todays world, rich countries maintain or increase their wealth by controlling (critics say) economic policies of poorer countries through the international monetary fund. This is not really my opinion but i believe that is the point the author is trying to get across.
