Trade and Exchange

By: Barbara Gottfried Hollander

Readers will encounter incentives for voluntary exchange (Standard 5), commonly traded goods and services, payment methods, barriers to trade, and international trade agreements. Compelling sidebars highlight exchange-related concepts, like Bitcoins, Silk Road, and the Consumer Boycott from the Anti-Apartheid Movement.

Booms, Bubbles, and Busts

The Economic Cycle

By: Barbara Hollander

When the world recently went through an economic downturn, it was easy to forget that this had come on the heels of a high-spirited economic expansion, or boom. How did people's fortunes change so dramatically? Booms, Bubbles, and Busts: The Economic Cycle explores how the history of the global financial markets has been shaped by a repeating pattern, or cycle, of both expansions and downturns. Using straightforward language and examples, it explains key economic indicators, from spending to unemployment rates to credit, and explores how and why these indicators change over time. By unraveling the bigger financial picture, you can better understand where in the economic cycle we are today - and where we will likely be heading next. When the recent economic crisis began, many people found themselves wondering: "How did we get here?" The Global Marketplace makes sense of the recent crisis-and the global financial system more generally-by using a clear, engaging style to explore the fundamentals of investing, lending and borrowing, globalization, the economic cycle, and more. Special features include helpful charts and graphs and suggestions for further research, as well as real-life examples that help students to better understand their own role in the global marketplace.
