The International Marketplace™ helps students appreciate how they are connected, through trade, to people and cultures throughout the world. The activities reinforce economic concepts taught in world history and geography courses. The program begins with a focus on the resources of selected countries and how they impact cultures, governments, and economic systems. The focus then turns to the benefits of international trade and important international economic issues.

JA Economics™ helps students examine the structure and values of the U.S. economic system, explore business operations, study the emerging global economy, and acquire knowledge and skills necessary to function as competent citizens.
