took the presidency.

 As a consequence of socialist policies, 4 million people left Venezuela, mainly young people, which is seen in the surveys. The main things is that there

are no job opportunities, precarious conditions and a minimum salary of 2 dollars.

The young people who stay are because they usually have nationalistic feelings, which is reflected in the protests where the majority are young, who ask

to be freed from the socialist murderer.

While the United States is a prosperous country, which thanks to its President Donald Trump is increasingly a nation with a better economy. His minimum

THE ORGANISATION OF WORK

  The assembly line developed: each worker specialised in a task, such as placing a nut. Henry Ford was the first to use the assembly line in his car manufacturing company.

THE BIRTH OF THE CONSUMER SOCIETY
