Task 1 - 010721 Capitalism has led to a situation where a handful of highly industrialized countries stand opposite a large number of very underdeveloped countries that are exploited and plundered by the imperialist powers.

Thus, the highly developed countries produced a total of 204,000,000 tons of steel and 1604 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity in 1959 with a population of 603,000,000 people. The underdeveloped countries produced only 6,000,000 tons of steel and 120 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity in the same year with a population of 1,283,000,000 people.

How much steel and how many kilowatt-hours would the underdeveloped countries have had to produce if they had produced exactly the same amount in proportion to their population as the imperialist powers?
First, calculate the per capita production in the highly developed countries.

Steel: $204000000 \mathrm{t} : 603000000 = 0.338 \frac{\mathrm{t}}{\text{Person}}$,

Energy: $1604000000000 \mathrm{kWh} : 603000000 = 2660 \mathrm{kWh} /$ Person.

Multiply these values by the number of people in the less developed countries and find that they would have had to produce approximately 434000000 t of steel and 3413 billion kWh of energy.
