GLOBAL ISSUES
Mini Essay #3 on Global (International) Finance/Trade/Wealth
Globalization has four major categories: markets, politics, culture and environment.  In Module 3
we examine the oldest category, markets.  Markets encompass business, finance and wealth.
Thus, the module is named “Money.”  When we examine Globalization and the resulting global
issues, it must be understood that the categories also intersect.
In this essay we examine the intersectionality of markets. For example, the business sector of
professional sports, is an intersection of culture and markets. Another example, rare minerals, are
part of the current concern with the USA-China trade war; presenting an intersection of science,
military readiness, environmental concerns and trade.
