...foreign countries want to purchase. Trade provides a greater selection of goods and services to choose from, often at lower costs than at home. In order to prosper and profit, countries want to use their resources such as labour, land and capital, as efficiently as possible. However, the quantity, quality and cost of resources can differ substantially between countries. Some have natural advantages, such as ample minerals or a climate suited to agriculture. Others have a well-trained workforce or highly developed infrastructure, advanced telecommunications systems and reliable electric utilities, which benefit the production and distribution of goods and services. Canada, as an example, depends heavily on trade to sustain incomes and living standards of Canadians and the prosperity of the nation. Other than trying to produce everything domestically, which would be inefficient, countries often concentrate on producing those things that they can produce best, and then trade for other goods and services. By doing so, both the country and the world become wealthier. Today, most industrialized nations could produce almost any product they chose. However, this does not make good economic sense. Much of the labour, land and capital that would have to be directed toward the production of a new item unfamiliar to that nation could be used more efficiently in other industries. Countries achieve greater total wealth by devoting more resources to their most productive industries. But what happens...

...noted that the global market for wine industry is changing significantly with substantial differences in the structure of the wine industry around the world. For instance, there are 232,900 wine producers in France but the top 10 brands control only 4% of the market. In contrast, four firms control over 75% of the Australian wine market. Hence there is a marked difference in industry structure when comparing the “New World” producers (e.g. Australia, Chile, United States) to the “Old World” firms. These structural differences are driven by institutional diversity and contrasting patterns of historical development in countries. However, they are also driven by the competitive strategies employed by particular firms which are determining factors discussed in Porter’s Diamond model. Porter's diamond model allows an analysis of why some industries within nations are more competitive than others and takes into account the home base...

Levittown isn’t a visionary product of high design, there weren’t any major architects to give it pizzazz yet it endures today, by sheer force of will, to be the working stiff’s utopia, his escape from the inner city, the place where he could get away from the noise and dust of the city, a place that was affordable, where he could be king of his own single-family detached castle, he could enhance his quality of life and be just far enough away, but not too far… After World War II the returning veterans demands for housing became more insatiable, it was a right, given what they had been through. Returning veterans were living in attics, basements and Quonset huts or sharing housing with others in the same boat. The young men and women were ready to get back to a normal life – get married and have families and that meant finding a place of their own. The houses were their reward. A single-family house in the suburbs, fully equipped with the best appliances, became a patriotic mission.

They knew they’d have to work in those cities, but they didn’t have to live there or raise a family there. During the...
