Lab Economics Concept Check To understand monetarism we need to go back to the fundamentals of how we use money.

of cotton that we had before specialization. To see how this is managed, we move in stages. In Stage 1, let Australia move all its land into cotton production, where it is least disadvantaged.

New Zealand. Consider the “cost” of 3 bales of cotton in the two countries.
