In the simulation for International Trade of Rodamia, I am the Trade Representative of the government of Rodamia. As chief advisor, negotiator and spokesperson on international trade and investment issues my job is to advise the President with recommendations for trade.

International trade has its advantages as well as limitations. Absolute advantage and comparative advantage plays a role in international trade.
Federal Reserve Paper Money is define as the assets that people are generally willing to accept in the exchange of goods and services or for payment of debts (Hubbard & O'Brien, pg 826). The nation’s central bank also known as the Federal Reserve Bank controls the money. The main purpose of money is to buy goods and services that are available in the market.

The continued power grab will destroy the capitalist system shackling the limbs of the free market. The regulation imposed creates factions limiting the ease of market entry.

It is necessary to go outside the commonsensical box of accepted socially engineered thinking to reconstruct an ideology that reflects a well-cultured thinking process. Throughout the remainder of this essay, I will demonstrate how the inherent restlessness of a liberal society led into the age of development, wealth, and inequality by articulating the ideas displayed within Why Globalization works by, Martin Wolf. Furthermore, I will use Philip McMichael’s work titled, Development and Social Change to critically analyze the processes described by Wolf. To begin, wolfs analysis begins with the necessary ingredients to first establish markets within a society. He claims the advent of markets is due to the rational decisions made by the individual; in particular the merchant and the consumer.

The era following World War I witnessed the burgeoning of a new lifestyle that characterized the 1920’s. The Great War, now famously known as World War I had brought America to the forefront of the global outlook.

Additionally, we will examine the changes which were made in an attempt to reverse the poor performance trend of the merged company Alcatel-Lucent and gauge whether they were successful and finally we will look at the current position of the merged company and examine its relevance and viability in today’s economy. It is our aim that through our analysis we are able to uncover alternative decisions which should have been considered and provide some advice on what we feel should have been done from the onset to ensure the smooth merger of the two corporations into a successful multinational corporation. Background Deresky, H. (2011) states that “companies of all sizes go international for different reasons, some reactive (or defensive) and some proactive (or aggressive).” But what of the
