"Barter, Exchange and Trade Credits." I discovered something when living overseas that I feel is extremely important to the exchange business: That while transferring title between real estate properties internationally could be more difficult than in the states, barter for goods and services crosses borders very easily. This opened my eyes and I also found that almost all the formulas and strategies we use in real estate work in barter. Every commodity delivers another complete genre of things that can be bartered, traded or swapped. The world becomes an unending source of assets to work with when Barter comes into play. This book will open your eyes.

The international spread of antitrust suggested the historical process shaping global capitalism. By the 1930s, Americans feared that big business exceeded the government's capacity to impose accountability, engendering the most aggressive antitrust campaign in history. Meanwhile, big business had emerged to varying degrees in liberal Britain, Australia and France, Nazi Germany, and militarist Japan. These same nations nonetheless expressly rejected American-style antitrust as unsuited to their cultures and institutions. After World War II, however, governments in these nations - as well as the European Community - adopted workable antitrust regimes. By the millennium antitrust was instrumental to the clash between state sovereignty and globalization. What ideological and institutional factors explain the global change from opposing to supporting antitrust? Addressing this question, this book throws new light on the struggle over liberal capitalism during the Great Depression and World War II, the postwar Allied occupations of Japan and Germany, the reaction against American big-business hegemony during the Cold War, and the clash over globalization and the WTO.
