Visual Summary

Chapter Intro 1

The world is becoming more interconnected every day. One aspect of growing globalization is the vast number of foreign-made products you can buy. These products are in your stores because of international trade. Most of our trading partners are either developed or developing market economies.

Chapter Intro 2

Section 1: International Trade

The exchange of goods and services helps create economic interdependence among peoples in different places and different countries. Nations trade with one another to obtain goods and services they themselves cannot produce efficiently.
