Where does the United States fit in the global marketplace? Just how much are we exporting to, and importing from, other nations, and shouldn’t those goods and services be regulated? The viewpoints in this anthology introduce readers to the pros and cons of globalization and the pitfalls involved with free trade. Readers will learn about trade restrictions, taxes, and tariffs, as well as topics like foreign investments, outsourcing, and why it may be better to keep business interests and industry within U.S. borders.
