International trade
Connolly, Sean
- Reading
- Pause at the first-hand accounts and compare them with the book’s wider explanations; use its discussion points to explore which trade effects seem important and why.
- Themes
- Trade’s effects and competing perspectives: The book considers advantages and disadvantages of trade for wealthier and poorer countries, and includes workers and environmental issues among its topics. It presents trade as a subject with differing effects and encourages readers to form their own views, rather than prescribing a single conclusion.
- Worth knowing
- Trade is examined through its possible benefits and drawbacks for countries with different levels of wealth, and through its effects on workers and the environment.
