The Global Economy: America and the World (A True Book: Great American Business)

Find out how the global economy is more connected than ever.

With travel and communications at an unprecedented level of speed and efficiency, it is almost as easy today to conduct business with colleagues across the world as it is to dial up a friend who lives down the street. Readers (Grades 3-5) will discover how the many small economies around the world are linked together into a worldwide web of goods, services, and money.
