Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1981, a report was published about global development. It was called the Brandt report and it showed a divided world. A wealthy North controlled 80% of the world’s wealth, and a poorer South only 20%. The development indicator used was GNP per capita. This system has decreased in popularity because, as economies develop, it is just too simple. There is huge variation between the countries which are located with the North and also those in the South. China, for example, is classified as in the South and its level of development is vastly different to that of Zimbabwe which is also in the South.
