International Business and the Roman Empire

Pax Romana, or Roman Peace ensured that merchants were able to travel safely and rapidly.Common coinage simplified business transactions.Rome developed a systematic law, central market locations, and an effective communication system; all of which enabled international business to flourish in the Roman Empire. The growth of the Roman Empire occurred mainly through the linkages of business

International Business and the Roman Empire (cont.)

The decline of the Roman Empire can be attributed in part to:

infighting and increasing decadence the Pax Romana being no longer enforcedthe decline of use and acceptance of the common coinagedeclining levels of communication

As a result, former Roman allies cooperated with invaders.

The Smoot-Hawley ActThe the 1930’s, the U.S. passed the Smoot-Hawley Act, which raised import duties to reduce the volume of goods coming into the U.S.

The act was passed in the hope that it would restore domestic employment.

The result was a worldwide depression and the collapse of the world financial system.

Expansion of International TradeIn the past 30 years, the volume of international trade has expanded from $200 billion to over $7.5 trillion.

The sales of foreign affiliates of multinational corporations are now twice as high as global exports.

Global Links TodayInternational business has created a network of global links that bind countries, institutions, and individuals with trade, financial markets, technology, and living standards.

For example, a reduction in coffee production in Brazil would affect individuals and economies worldwide.
