Issues in International Trade

Does trade cost jobs? Is a trade deficit a bad thing? Why do the European countries want to use the same money? And what’s the World Trade Organization so upset about? This workshop will offer examples and classroom activities that help students move beyond rhetoric to reality in building a foundation for their opinions on the news of the day.
