Very few people, groups, or governments oppose globalization in its entirety. Instead, critics of globalization
believe aspects of the way globalization operates should be changed. The debate over globalization is about what
the best rules are for governing the global economy so that its advantages can grow while its problems can be
solvedl
On one side of this debate are those who stress the benefits of removing barriers to international trade and
investment, allowing capital to be allocated more efficiently and giving consumers greater freedom of choice.
With free-market globalization, investment funds can move unimpeded from the rich countries to the developing
countries. Consumers can benefit from cheaper products because reduced taes make goods produced at low cost
from faraway places cheaper to buy. Producers of goods gain by selling to a wider market. More competition

keeps sellers on their toes and allows ideas and new technology to spread and benefit others.
On the other side of the debate are critics who see neo-liberal policies as producing greater poverty, inequality,
social conflict, cultural destruction, and environmental damage. They say that the most developed nations - the
United States, Germany, and Japan - succeeded not because of free frade but because of protectionism and
subsidies. They argue that the more recently successful economies of South Korea, Taiwan, and China all had
strong state-led development strategies that did not follow neo-liberalism. These critics think that government
encouragement of “infant industries” - that is, industries that are just beginning to develop - enables a country to
become internationally competitive.
Furthermore, those who criticize the Washington Consensus suggest that the inflow and outflow of money from
speculative investors must be limited to prevent bubbles. These bubbles are characterized by the rapid inflow of
foreign funds that bid up domestic stock markets and property values. When the economy cannot sustain such
epectation, the bubbles burst as investors panic and pull their money out of the country.
Protests by what is called the anti-globalization movement are seldom directed against globalization itself but
rather against abuses that harm the rights of workers and the environment. The question raised by
nongovernmental organizations and protesters at WTO and IMF gatherings is whether globalization will result in a
rise of living standards or a race to the bottom as competition takes the form of lowering living standards and
underminine environmental regulations.
One of the key problems of the 21 st century will be determining to what etent markets should be regulated to
promote fair competition, honest dealing, and fair distribution of public goods on a global scale.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 37 to 44.
Very few people, groups, or governments oppose globalization in its entirety. Instead, critics of globalization
believe aspects of the way globalization operates should be changed. The debate over globalization is about what
the best rules are for governing the global economy so that its advantages can grow while its problems can be
solvedl
On one side of this debate are those who stress the benefits of removing barriers to international trade and
investment, allowing capital to be allocated more efficiently and giving consumers greater freedom of choice.
With free-market globalization, investment funds can move unimpeded from the rich countries to the developing
countries. Consumers can benefit from cheaper products because reduced taes make goods produced at low cost
from faraway places cheaper to buy. Producers of goods gain by selling to a wider market. More competition
keeps sellers on their toes and allows ideas and new technology to spread and benefit others.
On the other side of the debate are critics who see neo-liberal policies as producing greater poverty, inequality,
social conflict, cultural destruction, and environmental damage. They say that the most developed nations - the
United States, Germany, and Japan - succeeded not because of free frade but because of protectionism and
subsidies. They argue that the more recently successful economies of South Korea, Taiwan, and China all had
strong state-led development strategies that did not follow neo-liberalism. These critics think that government
encouragement of “infant industries” - that is, industries that are just beginning to develop - enables a country to
become internationally competitive.
Furthermore, those who criticize the Washington Consensus suggest that the inflow and outflow of money from
speculative investors must be limited to prevent bubbles. These bubbles are characterized by the rapid inflow of
foreign funds that bid up domestic stock markets and property values. When the economy cannot sustain such
epectation, the bubbles burst as investors panic and pull their money out of the country.
Protests by what is called the anti-globalization movement are seldom directed against globalization itself but

rather against abuses that harm the rights of workers and the environment. The question raised by
nongovernmental organizations and protesters at WTO and IMF gatherings is whether globalization will result in a
rise of living standards or a race to the bottom as competition takes the form of lowering living standards and
underminine environmental regulations.
One of the key problems of the 21 st century will be determining to what etent markets should be regulated to
promote fair competition, honest dealing, and fair distribution of public goods on a global scale.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 37 to 44.
Very few people, groups, or governments oppose globalization in its entirety. Instead, critics of globalization
believe aspects of the way globalization operates should be changed. The debate over globalization is about what
the best rules are for governing the global economy so that its advantages can grow while its problems can be
solvedl

On one side of this debate are those who stress the benefits of removing barriers to international trade and
investment, allowing capital to be allocated more efficiently and giving consumers greater freedom of choice.
With free-market globalization, investment funds can move unimpeded from the rich countries to the developing
countries. Consumers can benefit from cheaper products because reduced taes make goods produced at low cost
from faraway places cheaper to buy. Producers of goods gain by selling to a wider market. More competition
keeps sellers on their toes and allows ideas and new technology to spread and benefit others.
On the other side of the debate are critics who see neo-liberal policies as producing greater poverty, inequality,
social conflict, cultural destruction, and environmental damage. They say that the most developed nations - the
United States, Germany, and Japan - succeeded not because of free frade but because of protectionism and
subsidies. They argue that the more recently successful economies of South Korea, Taiwan, and China all had
strong state-led development strategies that did not follow neo-liberalism. These critics think that government
encouragement of “infant industries” - that is, industries that are just beginning to develop - enables a country to
become internationally competitive.
Furthermore, those who criticize the Washington Consensus suggest that the inflow and outflow of money from
speculative investors must be limited to prevent bubbles. These bubbles are characterized by the rapid inflow of
foreign funds that bid up domestic stock markets and property values. When the economy cannot sustain such
epectation, the bubbles burst as investors panic and pull their money out of the country.
Protests by what is called the anti-globalization movement are seldom directed against globalization itself but
rather against abuses that harm the rights of workers and the environment. The question raised by
nongovernmental organizations and protesters at WTO and IMF gatherings is whether globalization will result in a
rise of living standards or a race to the bottom as competition takes the form of lowering living standards and
underminine environmental regulations.
One of the key problems of the 21 st century will be determining to what etent markets should be regulated to
promote fair competition, honest dealing, and fair distribution of public goods on a global scale.
