Global Trade
Subjects / Geography / Economic Systems
Trade is the exchange of goods or services between countries. Some trade is 'visible' trade, where material goods such as foods, raw materials and manufactured goods are bought and sold. Some trade is invisible, where services are exchanged. An example of invisible trade is tourism. This title examines global trade. Trade patterns have had a significant impact on the development of different countries and this is examined in chapter one. Chapter two looks in more detail at the globalisation of trade.
