• The theory cannot be applied to developing countries because these countries are not near to full employment as the theory suggests.
• The theory assumes fixed quantity of resources and does not consider the effect of growth.
• The theory comes to conclusion of complete specialization. Such complete specialization is unrealistic even in two countries and two commodities model.
• The theory assumes free trade. In real sense trade has many barriers and restrictions
• The theory concentrates on the supply of goods and ignores the demand.
• This theory ignores the transportation costs in determining the cost differences.
• The theory assumes full employment but this is far from the reality because production cost may change as the courtiers at different levels of employment move toward full employment.
• The theory concentrates on trade between two countries but international trade can be trade of more than two countries.

Imagine you are meeting with friends to discuss the importance of investments as part of a retirement plan.
Read the following summaries of the financial situation and goals of two of your friends:
Kathy
Kathy is a 28-year-old, single mother of twin boys. She has been working as a public relations media specialist for three years, having worked at the same company where she started out answering the phones. She has her B.A. in Communications and a student loan of USD20,000 she has not yet begun to pay off. Her job pays USD70,000 a year. She receive no financial support from the father of her twins. Her costs include paying for childcare, credit cards, and a mortgage. She is able to set aside between USD200-325 a month in a savings account. Her financial goals are to pay off the remaining USD1,000 of her credit card debt, and to begin contributing to a retirement plan. Her employer offers a 401k with a 3% match, and she is not yet enrolled in that plan.
Jackson
Jackson is a recently graduated 44-year-old, single man. He earned his B.S. in Criminal Justice and just recently started a job at the local police department earning USD45,000 a year. Jackson pays child support for one child from a previous marriage. His student loans total USD30,000, and he has no other debt at this time. He expects to have $200 a month to contribute toward his goals of owning a home and having a more secure retirement.
