The three countries that will ultimately have the largest impact on global trade are the United States, China, and India.
China is the world’s second largest economy and has made a substantial investment in infrastructure, including its $16 billion investment in the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). China’s infrastructure investment is the largest since the 1960s. India, however, is much more dependent on its own resources and is a much smaller economy. India is the world’s largest producer of iron ore, and also makes the bulk of its copper, lead, zinc, and silver.
The first time I encountered this idea was when I was looking at a chart of the world’s countries. The countries with a lot of imports and exports were the ones I thought were producing more. So I tried to figure out the countries that were producing more than other countries. I thought I had a pretty good idea of the countries that were exporting more, but in fact I only knew about a handful of those countries.
The first one I knew about was Zimbabwe. From the chart I learned about their production of iron ore. From the chart I learned about their production of copper. From the chart I learned about their production of lead, zinc, and silver. But from the chart I knew that they were also a producer of iron ore. The next time I looked at the chart I didn’t see any of the other countries listed.
A country can have lots of production based on the same idea, but it can also be very specialized. Zimbabwe is special because they produce iron ore. India has production based on production of petroleum, so there are a lot of people there who have oil production based on country production of oil.
Countries can specialize in a lot of things, but they also can specialize in a lot of other things too. For example, I am a huge fan of Venezuela because they specialize in oil production based on production of petroleum. But they are also a country with massive zinc and silver production. In fact, the charts even show a couple of silver producing countries.
I think they are the most sophisticated producers in the world. They don’t have that many people selling their product for gold or other metals (we’ve all heard about the silver ones) and aren’t even very tech-savvy. So I think we can probably get them to specialize in the production of gold and silver to some degree. The most important thing is to be able to trade in a nice country, but if you don’t sell, you lose.
Gold and silver are the two most popular hard commodities, and the two primary materials used in manufacturing. The countries that produce these commodities are the most sophisticated producers in the world. As we write, Argentina has the richest gold and silver mines in the world, while Colombia is the second richest country in the world in both gold and silver.
Although the most important commodity is gold and silver, there are other commodities that are less important (if not less important) than gold and silver. These are things like copper, lead, and zinc, which have a very limited and limited amount of value. The countries that are the most important producers of these commodities are generally the most advanced countries in any given continent, and are therefore the countries that have the most to gain from exporting their goods.
