The Benefit of a Whole,Rather Than the Individuals
Burma is the worlds largest exporter of teak and is an importantsource of jewels. Its soil is extremely fertile and has prominent oiland gas deposits offshore. However, the people remain very poor.
French oil interests fuel oppression by co-operating with the juntain a joint venture to exploit gas. Napoleon had negotiated with other farmers that he would sells the hens
eggs to sell for grain.
Foreign Investment:Animal Farm benefited economically from exchanging goods with
other farms, but the lives of the animals didnt improve at all.
"Only old Benjamin professed to
remember every detail of his long lifeand to know that things never had been,nor ever could be much better or muchworse; hunger, hardship, anddisappointment being, so he said, theunalterable law of life."
