We live in unprecedented economic times. In this rapidly changing environment, borders are dissolving, the world is getting flatter, and transactions are conducted across borders with nations, legal systems, and regulations unlike our own. These new business frontiers represent an added dimension in the lawyer's arsenal of legal concepts and strategies--lawyers in the twenty-first century must increasingly conduct business in a rapidly changing, borderless, and fast-moving international economic system. Seven chapters explore the intricacies of global economics and detail what you and your clients need to know:

• Foreign Exchange (FX) Policies and Products
• International Banking and Investment
• Global Financial Crises (Past and Present)
