Abstract: Abstract Why do people trade? Basically, because it is to their advantage to do so. Different people and different nations possess different production abilities and resources and may want to consume goods in different proportions, which opens up the possibility of profitable trade. The essence and dynamics of trade are thus a reflection of the division of labour between partners.
