Question 3 • GA-GSE World Geography B

Which of the following slogans best exemplifies Wallerstein's theory of systems?

Answer
A
The rich get richer while the poor get poorer.
B
If you work hard enough, you can achieve anything.
C
Everything in the world balances out.
D
Money and power are not related.

Explanation

Wallerstein’s world-systems theory describes a global economic system in which wealthy core regions benefit from the labor and resources of poorer peripheral regions. This unequal relationship helps the wealthy maintain their advantages while poorer regions remain disadvantaged. Therefore, “The rich get richer while the poor get poorer” best captures the theory.
