One of the five Essential PBE units. Teams of economic leaders from two island nations pursue the possibility of trade by analyzing data on the hours it takes to produce goods and learning about comparative advantage, and discover economic benefits that occur with specialization of production and trade. After a trade agreement is negotiated, protests arise due to fear of lost jobs and environmental damage, and the leaders of the islands must justify their agreement.
