6. Unit 27
Listen up! Exercise 2A, pg. 158
1.Formerly, the less developed countries were against free trade
because they didn’t have competitive manufacturing industries.
2.Countries like South Korea and Malaysia are competitive today
because they’ve been able to import technology from the rich countries,
educate their labor force, and set up an infrastructure.
3.Free trade is disruptive; in other words, it causes big economic
changes, such as the closing down of an entire industry in a country, as
the product begins to be made more cheaply somewhere else.
4.The advantage of free trade is that it leads to more efficiency and
output.
5.People in industrial countries can only put up with the disruption
caused by free trade if they can quite quickly find a new job.
