EDITORIAL REVIEW:
Sponsored by some of the biggest names in American business - Goodyear, Coca Cola, Aramco and United Fruit Company, the clips on this fascinating set of DVDs carry an undeniable promotional tone and yet they serve a much larger purpose - that of recording the history of trade. Admittedly this is an American perspective of the growth of global economy but one cannot deny the role of the United States in promoting trade and businesses the world over. It is amazing to note how the economies of some countries have been tied up so strongly with one product - like the bananacentric South American countries seen here. The entire culture of the place seems to revolve around the one product. The dependence of Saudi Arabia on oil is another example of these one-product economies.
If you are an economist or a history buff, you need to own this set of DVDs today!
CUSTOMER'S REVIEW:
"Boy, I didn’t know there was so much to growing bananas! This was an eye-opener to me and the next time I peel one of my favorite fruits and dig into it, I’m going to think of all the hard work people have put in to produce this fruit. I will also bear in mind that I am contributing to the economy of a country! Seriously this is a wonderful commentary on global economics and I enjoyed it."
John Young (Brooksville, Florida)
"I was amazed to learn about the significant contribution the United States has made to the economy of several countries. Imagine Saudi Arabia - just a barren desert a century ago - and now a flourishing oil-rich kingdom. I wonder what would have happened if Americans did not venture out to discover oil in this land of liquid gold! This DVD set made me proud to be an American, and I am quite certain it will have a similar effect on anybody who examines its contents."
Robert Sutherland (Douglas, Arizona)
