Description: "International trade is vital to most countries around the world. Countries have always traded with each other, but the value of that trade is now 50 times greater than just 40 years ago. This book looks at how international trade developed and at the advantages and disadvantages it has brought to both wealthy and poorer countries. It also considers some of the future challenges to international trade. Quoting from many first-hand accounts, it encourages readers to form their own views on current economic issues"--Back cover.
