According to the World bank (2012), the Chinese culture allowed everyone work and have businesses which made the GDP grow from $1000 to $8000. 

In China, Confucious, a philosopher helped the country’s economic stagnation by bring peace, harmony and love into the Chinese culture. 

Austen and Headrick (1983) state that the reason why Congolese people lack work ethic is because the king would always take their crops from the farm which made them stop. If the culture of Congo changed, the people would work and increase the country’s gross domestic product creating economic prosperity. 

In Sub-Saharan Africa, they are poor because the culture didn’t permit important technologies for development such as the wheel, writing and the plough. 

In some parts of Africa, the culture they perceive don’t allow them get educated and don’t have a work ethic. 

 

But in some cases, there is some funny example for geography with economics to show that the geography probably not effecting economics. The example for the Nogales of USA and Nogales of Mexico. From the map, we can see the Nogales is split to two parts, one part is for USA to manage and other is for Mexico. However, the quality of Nogales are different. The Nogales of USA is better than Mexico’s. The average income for the USA one is $30000 p.a. and Mexico only got $10000 average. And the table shown the education of Nogales is Majority graduate high school and Mexico one, only few people can graduate from high school. Moreover, the Law and Order, Nogales, Mexico has a high crime and corruption probably due to the education, people don’t really have knowledge to reach what the boss needed. So, the economics could be effect by the government of a place more than a geography of a place.
