how important is trade between states?

You didn't really specify if you mean trade between states as in American states or as in different nations. Fundamentally, there is not that much of a difference though. The most important concept in economics is that different economies are really intertwined in one large economy. Different regions and populations possess different resources that others do not. The best examples are natural resources. Imagine how our world would be if the Middle East (or in the domestic case, say, Texas) did not trade their oil. Imagine what would happen to the small island nation of Japan if it could not import raw materials such as iron/steel to produce automobiles. Human resources are also important. The cost of many products we buy would be much higher if Chinese labor were not so inexpensive or if we were forced to produce microchips in southern California for ten times the cost! And far fewer of us would have wine if it weren't for countries like France and Australia, or states like California and Oregon. And what if we couldn't get potatoes from Idaho or peanuts from Georgia? As you can see, states depend on one another to provide raw materials, finished goods, services and labor that they themselves cannot. Without trade between different regions, our world would not function as it currently does and we would all be worse off!

The US did in 1803 when we fought our first over seas war in Monazuma. We were trading with other countries in the Med. sea and we did not pay the "priates" monet to not attack our trade ships. They were called terrorist then. The US went to a short war with the terrorist and won. The Congress adopted a "no negotiation" standard then.

I'm sure anyone from the USA would say they'd get along great.  But 85% of our goods and services are sent to the US.  So, I'm sure without our things, the US could potentially buy from someone else, but there's also the possibility of it being more expensive than they could get from us here in Canada.

It depends entirely on the state.

The United States as a whole.\n\nIf you're looking for large markets within the US, pick any large city.  Use of E-Bay pretty much spans all geographic regions and foils any traditional labelling of which market is which.

I suppose you could research the history of each state - some borders are obvious (rivers), while others are lines of latitude and longitude. Once you get past that, there probably aren't many other reasons.

The merchants or the traders were, are and will be necessary bridge between producers and end-users. Of course I am talking about the merchants of commodities trading where merchant should have full set of logisitics, price risk management and marketing systems. Due to this factors merchant always will be in need in our globalizing world trade market. The main is what you are going to trade with?

Roads are the basis of most economies if not all. Transport of goods is easier if roads are good.

Trade agreements.  It seems there is a considerable pool of labor there, as well as natural resources, and we have investment capital here.  Should be able to be useful to one another.  The more we get involved in trade, the less the politicians can mess around with their manipulations and war-mongering.  The people who benefit from trade discourage the politicians from doing anything that would disrupt the smooth flow of commerce.

Free Trade is good for the economy, nation and bridges people from different parts of the world. You should not think like a racist. People make the good world.\nPeople from all parts depend upon each other one way or the other.

A bridge should have been built. Throughout history whenever modes of travel have been strengthened, whether it is wider rivers, stronger horses, cars, planes , and of course, bridges, the trade ,and often,increased comaradarie between nations has resulted. Malaysia to me is a pivotal country in future world trade, and a throughway to Singapore would've only helped that.

You have to make your question clearer so we no what your talking about.\n\nThe laws of one State must be recognized by the other States.

The best way to look at this question is to start at the beginning: with the Individual person.\n\nAfter all, it is individuals that trade with one another, not countries.\n\nTake two people (Bob & Jim)\n\nBob has 2 apples and Jim has 2 oranges.\n\nBob would like one of Jim's oranges, so he offers to trade one of his apples.\n\nJim agrees and the two make the trade (1 apple for 1 orange).\n\nWhat's the economic impact?\n\nAfter the trade, you have two satisified individuals. Each now has the things that they value most. Bob valued Jim's orange more than his extra apple, and vice versa with Jim.\n\nIt's a win-win situation.\n\nThat is the economic impact of EVERY trade that occurs in the marketplace (UNLESS there is outside interference with the exchange).\n\nNow, imagine that Bob lived in Italy and Jim in Canada...\n\nIt wouldn't make a difference. \n\nThe principles are the same.

I assume you mean communication with the rest of the world? If so, communication is absolutely essential for developing an economy on the global market. These countries have to try to turn a trade deficit into a positive by attempting to export more than they import. Communication is the primary medium that allows this to happen. Internet, telecommunications, etc... Also, tight controls on inflation through currency availability is important. Finally, opening up trade for foreign direct investment will bring in revenue. In every case I have mentioned, communication is the backbone. Communication could not possibly be more important than that!
