Chapter 9 Introduction
Economic Stability
Nations and nation-states serve their national interests by seeking ways
to achieve economic stability.
For example- A national government might decide to provide more
money for training apprentices in skilled trades. By creating a more
skilled workforce, the government will attract more industries to the
country, which will generate more job opportunities.
National government might also develop trade policies that support
exports. Strong exports help keep employment levels high.

to take action to relieve suffering and
protect the innocent.
