This is an exciting time to study economics. Lower transport and communica¬tion costs are shrinking the size of our world. There is now more interaction and trade between people in different nations than at any time in history. How will these developments affect you? How will increased trade with less developed countries like Mexico influence your future job opportunities? People in Latin America/ Eastern Europe, and the former Soviet Union have moved toward democracy. Will the adoption of democratic political institutions improve eco¬nomic conditions in these areas? In recent decades, the per capita income of sev¬eral Asian countries has grown substantially while that of most African and Latin American nations has stagnated. Why have some countries prospered while others have regressed? What is the recipe for economic growth? As we proceed, we will use the tools of economics to address these and many other important issues that affect our lives.
