Chapter 12

The part that I found interesting was the example that related trading globally to trading across the Mississippi River. It put into perspective how without global trade everyone would suffer majorly. It shows that geography really plays a major part in what natural resources you have, even though that is not what matters most in a place's economic standing (which was stated in chapter 13). I think it's confusing that people would poor countries would suffer from all the trading since wealthier countries are getting richer, since everyone would be growing through the trading if they are included.
