The Box

a. The part that was most interesting to me was the section that described how the container was constructed. It made it seem so simple yet it serves such a great purpose. I never really thought about how simple a shipping container could be. The next section began to talk about how shipping container made shipping cheaper was also very interesting because my father ships his products all around the world using the same crates.

b. Marc saw the shipping container contributing to globalization because it allowed for more products to be sent bast boundaries not reachable previously. It also made shipping cheaper allowing for more expenditure elsewhere.

c. The short run impact would effect the net export because of more efficient ways to transport goods. The long run impact would effect the capital because of the investment made on the products used to ship the goods.
