unified market for every product. According to one source, The global
economy refers to an integrated world economy with unrestricted and
free movement of goods, services, and labor trans nationality.

To simplify this, the global economy is essentially depicting how the
world is becoming more increasingly interconnected with the addition
of the spread of capital across other countries. While the global
economy is constantly evolving, so are its pros and cons as well as its
goals.
One goal that stands out is how the global economy is incessantly
working to streamline the price of products globally so that each
product would cost an equal amount of money in every country. To put
this into perspective if one were to purchase a cup of coffee in
Columbia, the price paid for that cup of coffee would be different than
if it were to be bought in the United States. On the contrary, despite
the difference in each price, that does not mean that it will cost the
same amount of money forever. To reinforce this, one source has
stated that, With the reduction in the levels of tariffs and quotas
under new WTO (World Trade Organization) restrictions free flow of
goods between the developed and developing countries has become a
distinct possibility. (Economywatch.com) On the contrary, there are

What can be perceived from this graph are some of the benefits that
outsourcing has. For example, it would cost a lower amount of money
as well as workforce flexibility. However while there are benefits to
outsourcing, there are also disadvantages and risks that come with it.
Whether they cause a risk of miscommunication between the company
that is producing the products and the company that has hired them to
do so, or something more serious such as giving the outsourcer the
idea that needs to be built, only to find that they stole it in the end, it is
important to recognize that outsourcing is definitely a gamble. To
conclude, outsourcing does not just play a role in product production
for large corporations, but also plays a role in smaller companies that
are run by entrepreneurs.

smaller businesses are failing as a result of the collapse in Spains
economy.
In 2008, Spain had experienced an economic crisis that was fueled
by its massive housing bubble among other issues. To put this into
perspective the graph below highlights a few of the issues and effects
that have been brought up as a result of this crisis.
From this graph it can easily been seen that not only industrial
production and consumption such as cement has declined rapidly, but
also unemployment has risen to over 22% since 2009. Furthermore,
this graph also project how despite Spanish exports falling below -16%
they had been able to work towards growing the export rate, and
successfully did so. As a matter of fact, the export rate had increased
in 2009 to 16%, which is 4% higher than what it was at its peaks in
2000. Despite the export rate reaching this percentage, it should be
made clear that this unfortunately not lasted to long, and in 2011, this

rate has begun to fall again. To conclude, while Spain has definitely had
its ups and downs within its economy, it should be known that their
economy is developing in comparison to the global economy.
