| description |
The Silk Road linking the ancient world’s civilizations wound
through deserts and mountain passes, traversed by caravans laden
with the world’s treasures. The modern Silk Road winds its way
through undersea fiber-optic cables and satellite links, ferrying electrons
brimming with information. This electronic Silk Road makes
possible trade in services heretofore impossible in human history.
Radiologists, accountants, engineers, lawyers, musicians, filmmakers,
and reporters now offer their services to the world without passing a
customs checkpoint or boarding a plane. Like the ancient Silk Road,
which transformed the lands that it connected, this new trade route
promises to remake the world Today the people of the world are engaged in international trade
with a greater intensity than ever before in human history. The subjects
of international trade, too, are far more personal than ever
before. They implicate our habits and hobbies, our travels, our communication,
our friends, our politics, our health, and our finances. As
our lives increasingly are reflected online, the range of activities
subject to international trade grows. Services now join goods in the
global marketplace, with workers in developing countries able to
participate in lucrative Western markets despite immigration
barriers and Western enterprises able to reach a global audience,
often free of tariffs or local bureaucracies. |
