What do capital controls prevent

How are credit unions different from banks

Credit unions are nonprofit financial institutions.

Technically, you're answer is incorrect. Credit unions are not-for-profit, member owned, financial cooperatives. They are NOT the Salvation Army, the Red Cross, or Goodwill, which are nonprofit organizations. Credit Unions must earn money to cover overhead & operations, provide returns to their members and build capital. Since they are cooperatives, they issue no stock (which banks do to raise capital to expand branchs and offer additional services) and the only way credit unions can build capital is through earnings.

What does absolute advantage have to do with making economic choices

Think that you're country A, wanting to buy pen and paper.

Country B produces 1 million pen and 1 BILLION paper

Country C produces 1 BILLION pen and 1 million paper

Or, country B has the absolute advantage over production of paper while

country C has the absolute advantage over production of pen.

Coming back our theory of economy of scale, we know that to a certain point, increased production would lead to lower average cost and thus, lower price.

This would mean that paper from country B is cheaper than country C whereas pen from country C is cheaper than country B.

Therefore, you would choose to trade paper with country B while trading pen with country C.

And this is why it is important to making economic choices.
