From Booklist:

With current times defined in large part by the recent economic downturn, the books in the Economics in Action series are a timely choice to introduce students to some key and often interlocking concepts. What Is Importing and Exporting? moves from the basic idea of trade to the more intricate topics of globalization, the WTO, and NAFTA. Core concepts such as human, natural, and capital resources and supply and demand are explained along the way, with lots of concrete, if simplified, examples. In each book, stock photos and sidebars do more to break up the layout than provide much additional insight, but the design as a whole is inviting enough to make these economic principles far less dreary than many kids might think. A good series for establishing a solid economic bedrock. Grades 5-8. --Ian Chipman
