McLaren’s International Trade covers all of the conventional theory that students are expected to learn, but presents it in a modern and unique way. Aiming to teach students how to use economic theory instead of merely memorizing economic theory, International Trade introduces each topic with a real-world policy problem followed by the models and theories in an applied approach.

He's just trying to stand up for what he believes, but perhaps there is no way for him to escape becoming a pawn in this game of control; students are pitted against other students, fighting for honor--or are they fighting for their lives?
