On Global Trade ¼¼°è¹«¿ª
¿¸° ¹«¿ªFor the first time in history, almost the entire world is now sharing the same economic system. Communism began to fall in the late 1980s, and since then, capitalism has spread to most corners of the world. The basis of a "pure" capitalist economy is free trade, also called "open trade." There are benefits of open trade for both rich and poor countries. For developed countries such as Japan and England, free trade brings with it more competition, which in turn brings advantage such as lower prices and more choice of products for consumers. For developing countries, open trade means that people have access to essential goods such as food, clothing, and fuel(for transportation and heat). An open economic system can be a key to improving the lives of people in both poor and rich countries because it can reduce poverty and improve living conditions.
