the art of convincing strangers across an ocean to fund your economy.

means To send goods, services, or data out of one country or system into another, or the thing so sent.

from From Latin exportare, a clean compound of ex- 'out' and portare 'to carry' — literally 'to carry out.' That portare is the same root that hauls in 'port,' 'porter,' and 'transport,' all about things being borne from one place to another. English picked it up in the 15th–16th centuries, first for the simple act of carrying out, then narrowing to the commercial sense of shipping wares abroad.
