We did an economic experiment with international trade during one of the last weeks of the spring term. There were two countries: one that's good at everything and has few people, and another that's not very good at anything and has a huge population. Students were able to discover on their own that both countries could be made richer through specialization and trade.
The students plot their strategies for a round of the experiment.
