"No country is abundant in everything." Discuss

What will be an ideal response?


The concept of factor abundance is (like factor intensities) a relative concept. When we identify a country as being capital abundant, we mean that it has more capital per worker than does the other country. If one country has more capital worker than another, it is an arithmetic impossibility that it also has more workers per unit of capital.
