This program, hosted by David Frost, examines the huge changes and upheavals that occurred in the way trade was conducted and money made in the 20th century. At the end of the 19th century, a global free trade market existed between the countries with overseas empires. The program explores how the Great Depression and World War II destroyed this structure, and how a newer and bigger global market has since emerged. The current global market is significantly different from its predecessor due to the role of multinational corporations and modern communications and transportation systems. The program examines the effect that a global market has on issues such as employment, and how politicians can no longer control local economies due to the effects in the international market.
