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
