International Trade ECO 372 University of Phoenix There are many contributing factors to the stabilization and prosperity of our global market. We, the United States, are living in a time of severe trade deficit, meaning that we are importing many more goods than we are exporting. While it is nice to be able to buy foreign products at a lower price, there is risk in doing so. When we purchase foreign goods over domestic at lower prices it forces our domestic companies to sell their goods at lower prices to remain competitive. These lower prices may lend to making enough profit to sustain the current workforce.

As the capital is put back into the economy the demand for supplies will go up. As the demand rises the amount of supplies will also rise increasing the need for employees and in turn putting more available spending capital in the hands of the buyers. By increasing government spending there is more money being put back into the pockets of the people. This return in turn frees up capital citizens are able to put back into goods and services increasing demand. Lowering taxes can also leave money in citizen’s pockets but it also takes away from the amount of money the government is able to use to stimulate the economy by spending.
Industrialization had a major impact on American society. It was a time of growth and expansion for the nation as a whole as it brought about new ideas and resistance to reformation. In many ways industry was helpful to America’s economy, but it was also a hindrance for the vast majority of the population. People like Sam Patch, otherwise known as the working poor, did not have much opportunity to advance in society, so as time passes there’s more resistance and protest to letting the rich get richer. The messages sent from the famous jumps of Sam Patch were the beginning of a new of democracy, and a fulfillment to the true meaning of the word equality.
The factory system affected American life in many ways. First, it helped the American economy grow because goods were cheaper, more people could buy them. As people bought more, the factories needed more workers and more workers meant more people who were earning money to buy things. Second, the factory system contributed to the growth of cities. A single factory might hire thousands of workers.
First of all, illegal immigrants may or may not choose to file personal taxes, but they certainly pay sales taxes. These taxes increase the overall economic situation of many local communities. The smaller the community, the more positive effect an influx of illegal immigrants is going to have on the economy, as they spend money and therefore spend sales tax. They also stimulate the economy by providing stimulation of the workforce. However, illegal immigrants are subject to institutional and societal prejudice for several reasons.
Chapter 13 discusses labor markets and the basic models of labor supply and demand but the labor market for unskilled workers is changing. For businesses, the labor supply curve has dramatically shifted to the right especially with the implementation of NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) and the rise of China. There is a surplus of labor supply so the business is able to go along the demand curve to the cheaper wage available, usually in another country. (See attached graph) This loss of jobs for the unskilled workers and increasingly for higher-educated workers is widening the income gap. This shifting of the labor market has other effects too, outside of the labor market.

Many of these outsourced jobs don't pay decent enough wages to lift workers out of poverty. The U.S. economy has suffered significant job loss, especially among lower-income and middle-income workers. Globalization puts increased pressure on natural resources around the world, and it creates a greater amount of environmental damage. Economic growth has resulted in the depletion of tropical rainforests, ocean fisheries, and mineral and fuel reserves. Globalization has increased the flow of trade and investment to countries that often abuse human rights — places where worker abuse is common and where attempts to speak out
