This
program, hosted by David Frost, examines the huge changes and upheavals that
occurred in the way trade was conducted and money made in the 20th century.
At the end of the 19th century, a global free trade market existed between
the countries with overseas empires. The program explores how the Great
Depression and World War II destroyed this structure, and how a newer and
bigger global market has since emerged. The current global market is
significantly different from its predecessor due to the role of
multinational corporations and modern communications and transportation
systems. The program examines the effect that a global market has on issues
such as employment, and how politicians can no longer control local
economies due to the effects in the international market.
