Unit 1: Economics and Globalization

Lesson 20b: International Trade and Foreign Exchange Markets

Something Interesting - Why are we studying this?

 

The link below goes to a LIST of articles on the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade agreement found on the Huffington Post news site. The Huffington Post tends to be a more liberal, and less free trade, news site. Scroll down just looking at the titiles of the news articles over the last few months. You will see that many of them appear to oppose the TPP trade agreement.

After studying this lesson you will have a better understanding of why many people oppose such trade agreements BUT most economists say that such agreements benefit the US economy and the world economy.
