The essential logic behind international trade is not different from that underlying trade among different states. Why, then, do we study international trade as a special subject?


There are at least three reasons.
1 . Domestic trade takes place under a single national government, whereas foreign trade always involves at least two governments.
2 . All trade within the borders of one country is carried out in their own currency, whereas trade across national borders involves at least two currencies.
3 . It is much easier for labor and capital to move about within a country than to move from one nation to another.
