GLOBAL ECONOMY

The Global Economy and Prosperity

Tonight, economics professor  James Murray gave a special lecture on the global economy. He exlained that globalization has led to higher economic output  in  many places. This, in turn, creates a higher standard  of living. In some places, the increase is up  to ten percent.
Murray says this is because having  a global  economy  allows developing  countries  to trade with industrialized countries. As a result, national debts can be lowered and consumers can get products at lower prices. Also, workers in countries that  engage in global commerce  have better paying, higher quality jobs. All these things lead to increased prosperity.

The gross  domestic product (GDP) of a country increases when it participates in global trade. The expanded  market requires countries to produce more goods and services. However, the downside is interdependence.The daily choices  we  make, such   as which clothes we buy, can actually have an affect  on the economy of a country thousands of miles away. Its economy is dependent  on what we buy. If a 
country' s trading partner  has a downturn in its economy, it will affect  that country's  economy as  well.

In conclusion, Professor Murray started that our economy is no longer solely based on Wall Stree trends. Instead, the global economy is what will determine our economic situation in the years to come.
