Theories of International Trade and Currency Dynamics by Mr. Bernstein

This article by Mr. Bernstein examines key theories of international trade, including Comparative Advantage and the Product Life Cycle theory, and their implications on global economics. It discusses how consumer goods, like Samsung Galaxy, are priced in local currencies while producers manage profits in their home currency. The balance of trade is analyzed, focusing on how the current account deficit impacts currency exchange rates and inflation, alongside the highs and lows of capital account movements between nations, particularly the U.S. and China.
