Global Business Perspectives

In a recent study, Americans are more skeptical than ever of international trade.  This surprises me, we have one the wealthiest countries in the world and we were built on trade.  Importing and exporting has allowed our country to become very prosperous.  I know that war and some strained views of other countries has made us weary.  But we can’t be isolationists.  We reap many benefits of globalization, international business and foreign trade. 

So many countries are enjoying the benefits of the most open trade market in the world’s history.  Africa, China, and India are creating booming economies.  We can’t close ourselves down now to the opportunities that exist for so many of us in the global business world.

Are you afraid of international trade and why?
