In this video Heimler takes you through Unit 9 Topic 4 of the AP World History curriculum which is set in period 6 (1900-present).

Over the course of the 20th century there were some significant changes to the world’s economies. Most notably was the proliferation of free market economies, particularly after the end of the Cold War. Mikhail Gorbachev worked to introduce limited free market principles under his perestroika reforms. Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher worked to introduce free market economics to the world. And Augusto Pinochet, with the help of the Chicago Boys moved Chile to a free market economy.

A major economic transition during this period was the move to knowledge economies in many wealthy nations, while manufacturing largely fell to developing nations. Additionally, transnational free trade agreements made this transition possible, for example the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the Association of Southeast Asian Countries, and the World Trade Organization.
