Basic Training for Survival in the Global Economy
What impact does the emergence of a global economy have on you? Quite simply, it means that all aspects of the daily business of life may be influenced by decisions made in France, China, or Botswana. Where do I work? What do I consume? How much do I pay? Answers to these questions and more are ruled by the laws of economics. There are no borders and no special treatment.
How do you compete in this world? The first step is to know the ground rules-- the laws of economics. Why do countries trade? How are prices determined? How does a change in U.S. monetary policy affect the cost of my vacation in Europe? If you find yourself in an international business or any other situation, do not bet on your competitor not knowing the answers.
