Figure 5.1: Joint and Individual Benefits Any deal struck, such as a point A, yields certain benefits to each actor (dotted lines).

Liberalism is more concerned with joint benefits, mercantilism more with the relative distribution.

Figure 5.3: U.S. Financial Position, 1970-2002 For decades, the United States has imported more than it exported (the current account balance or trade deficit), and its government has spent more than its income (the budget deficit). The budget deficit leaves behind a large national debt, and the trade deficit remains especially large.
