BUYING AND SELLING
How Trading Shapes Our World
DVD
Connect with a representative to create a custom curriculum for your district.
This straightforward program explains what drives trade—that is, serving the needs and wants of complete strangers through trust and cooperation.
Easy-to-grasp scenarios illustrate important economic concepts, including trade and wealth (Jasmine loses a frog but ultimately gains a laptop), global trade (Texas cotton travels around the world to return as a shirt), externalities (a cashmere sweater causes dust storms in China and pollution-enhanced California sunsets), creative destruction (the death of one town’s button-making industry engendered wealth in the long run), and transparency (a painting thought to be junk is sold for far less than it is really worth).
Quantities are limited.
