Introducing free trade, protectionism and globalisation.

This 14 minute video from Alex Tabarrok will get students into a great discussion on free trade and protectionism and is an excellent resource to refer back to when teaching tariffs and quotas and then globalisation.

I showed this video to my Y13 IB Economics class today as a starter to get a discussion going on free trade and globalisation. The discussion is a great way to see what the students know and the excellent examples used by Alex Tabarrok can easily be included in students essays or internal assessment commentaries.
