ABSTRACT
An evaluation of gross domestic product (GDP) in terms of exchange rate reflects the strengths of a particular country's currency relative to the world banking currency, the US dollar. A large foreign-trade surplus and a high volume of international trade also increase the ratio of the domestic currency to the dollar. The formation and interaction of national economies and economies of international regions laid the foundation of the global marketplace (GMP) in the twenty-first century, a process that began more than 2,000 years ago. In addition to the traditional basic economic factors such as natural resources, labor, and capital, opportunities created by the GMP and modern technological innovations make it necessary to analyze other factors, such as existing production facilities, industrial infrastructure, and science and technology. Unprecedented availability of individual knowledge and experience will create incredible opportunities and serious challenges for human civilization in the GMP.
