product than other countries do. A country has a comparative advantage in the production of goods if that good can be produced at lower cost in terms of other
goods. If each country is constrained by its own resources and productivity, then it would have an absolute advantage in the production of one product. A country
must specialize in producing those goods in which they have a comparative advantage. They maximize their combined output and allocate their resources more efficiently. Two other industries, automobiles and
microwave ovens, have a much more international set of competitors. This is because when trade is free (that is, unimpeded by government-instituted barriers), patterns of trade and trade flows
result from the independent decisions of thousands of importers and exporters and millions of private households and firms. Thus, globalization is in effect. The relative attractiveness of foreign goods
