American Import and Export Ratio

[Dozy_production 10+ year member]

I'm writing up a paper about the pros and cons of globalization. I know thats its a somewhat still speculative subject really based on how one would interpret numbers and facts. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/*******.gif.a649d21efc0d1fd4890a6428166586c1.gif

I'm asking if anyone can point me to a sight showing the American Import and Export ratio of goods and services? And if you guys are feeling really nice, perhaps of any documents concerning the matter.

thanks.

Globalization is not all about importing and exporting of products. It is about the importing and exporting of human capital as well. I am sure the dept. of labor, the bls, and other places will have some insightful data.

Are you in college? I am sure your school is link to jstor for some pretty good articles concerning the subject.

A fine book to read is The World is Flat by Thomas Friedman. I am not familar with any economists who oppose globalization.

The CIA world fact book is a great source of global information. It seems to be down right now but Here Is A link to it.

Well i know thats its not just goods and services but its one statistic i would like out of the many. Thanks, for the help. There a couple of databases I'm waiting for a password to access.

Pertaining to the bolded section: i would agree with you there. But it does raise some political and social issues.

Thanks both of y'all.
