The Growing World of Commerce

Every time you watch television, listen to the radio, travel on a bus, or buy something in a shop, you are taking part in the world of commerce. Hundreds of years ago, families worked for themselves: they looked after animals and grew food. But as people started to live together in towns and cities, they began to do different jobs. For example, one person made and sold bread, another person made and sold clothes, and so on. Today, there are hundreds of different kinds of jobs. People work, earn money and spend money.

In modern world, large companies do business in every country, and they make a lot of money. Some of the largest companies are oil companies like Exxon Mobil, and car companies like Ford. These companies can make more than 100 billion dollars a year. They have a lot of power. Some people are worried that large companies have become more powerful than governments.

The value of world trade is about 4,000 billion dollars a year, and is growing fast.

Information technology and the Internet have changed the world of commerce. These changes are still happening, and nobody is sure where they will take us. But one thing is clear – the world of commerce will continue to grow.
