Team Aragon would like to
welcome you to A Borderless World, a website
dedicated to teaching the importance of the world economy and
trade. Economics is all around us, and innate in nearly everywhere you
look. As the global economy has growing prominence in people's lives,
it is increasingly necessary to understand how a global economy can be
achieved, and exactly how trade makes that happen!
What is economics? What is trade, and why
is it so important?
Here at
A Borderless World, we'd like to answer those
questions for you, and show you how trade has made the world so much smaller for
people all around the world. To do this, we've divided our website into
five basic sections.
We
recommend that you go through these sections in order, but you are free to
skip around and explore as you please.
Introduction:
Our welcome note, site navigation, our purpose & methods, about Thinkquest, and about
the creators.
What
is Economics?: It's our intro to economics! Here we address economics as a
whole, answering the question "What is economics." This
part of the site also offers a brief history
of economics, and important terminology. Connecting
the World: Our course focusing on the key concepts of trade, how it
all works, why it works, and globalization. Finally, we tie it
all together with how all of that affects everyone around the world in
the global economy. Encyclopedia
of World Economies: Your source for economies around the
globe! Learn about how each nation/region's geography, history, and
politics have affected their economies to be what they are today. Most
importantly, each entry includes a tidbit about what to expect from that
area of the world in the future! Resources:
Look here for a bibliography of our sources, and suggested further
