     Текст
     In many ways, we are all part of the world economy. When we drink our
imported coffee or hot chocolate in the morning, when we use a foreign-made
videocassette recorder, or when we travel abroad on holiday, we are participating in
the growing world of international trade and finance.
     And it is not only as a consumer of foreign goods and services that we are part
of the world economy. The money that our pension funds or university endowments
earn from global investments may actually be paying for our retirement or a new
building on campus. Foreign investment in local real estate and companies can also
provide needed jobs for our friends and families. Even the local athlete who has
signed a contract to play abroad is part of the expanding global economy.
     The world economy is made up of all those interactions among people,
businesses, and governments that cross international borders, even the illegal ones. If
we buy drugs - or if we join the fight against drugs by helping Bolivian farmers
substitute food crops for coca - we become part of the world economy. We also use
the world economy to achieve specific political or ecological objective when we
employ economic sanctions to fight racial segregation or the illegal killing of whales.
     Basically, whatever crosses an international border - whether goods, services, or
transfers of funds - is part of the world economy. Food imports, automobile exports,
investments abroad, even the trade in services such as movies or tourism contribute to
each country's international economic activity.
