Is Japan running out of husbands? Is China running out of wives? Did Genghis Khan really invent free trade? And why can’t you see the price of a Big Mac at McDonalds in Argentina? In Trading Places, Tim Harcourt—also known as the Airport Economist—takes you around the globe, talking to businesses, governments, union officials, NGOs, and others in the community to understand what makes each economy tick. He reveals where the opportunities are, identifies the risks, and provides insider tips on doing business in each destination. Like The Airport Economist, a bestseller in several languages, Trading Places is essential reading for business travelers, students of economics or business, and anyone who wants to understand the complexities of our modern globalized world.
Tim Harcourt is the J. W. Nevile Fellow in Economics at the Australian School of Business at the University of New South Wales. He is the author of six books, including the international bestseller The Airport Economist, and is a regular commentator on Australian television and radio and on Bloomberg, CCTV, BBC World, and CNBC Asia.
