Paper 4 — The Global Economy

Veridian Economics

Globalisation, trade theory and comparative advantage, terms of trade and trading blocs, the balance of payments and exchange rates, poverty and inequality, the role of the state, growth and development — the last of the four Economics papers, sourced against the real spec, mark schemes and examiner reports rather than the original course's build.
