Question 11 of 40
11. Question
Read the passage below and answer the question that follows.
It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest.
Adams Smith, the wealth of a Nation (1776).
Pause for a moment to consider the paradoxical words above, penned in 1776 by Adams Smith, the founder of modern economics. It is no coincidence that both ideas appeared at the same time. Just as the American revolutionaries were proclaiming freedoms from tyranny. Adams Smith was preaching a revolutionary doctrine emancipating trade and industry from the shackles of feudal aristocracy.
In the last two centuries, most of world has experienced an era of unimagined prosperity. In the United States and other high-income countries, most people can afford to buy far more than the bare necessities of food, clothing and shelter.
Super-fast personal computers, high-tech home entertainment center and fast air transportation to any part of the globe are examples of an astonishing range of goods and services that have become part of everyday life. Developing countries have also seen their standards of living rise rapidly in recent years.
But widespread prosperity has not brought economic security. In an average year, 10 million businesses go bankrupt. About 14 percent of households are designated as poor and the number is almost 50 percent among households headed by black female. Many families worry about the catastrophic financial consequences of illness because they have no insurance. The affluent society is an anxious society. For most of the human history, people who experience economic misfortunes live in the misery of the families or friends. Starting about a century ago, governments introduced the ”welfare state”, which provided social insurance and income support to needy people. Gradually, poor people in rich countries got assess to minimal levels of income, food and health care. But raising taxes and growing government spending on class, which is the taxed class. In 1996 the United States removed its guarantee of income support for poor families. Everywhere, countries are rethinking the boundaries between state and market, trying to balance the growing need for providing public services with increasing clamour for cutting taxes and shrinking government.
This is the age of the globe market place. Today, money, goods and information cross national borders more rapidly than ever before. In earlier times, we did business with people down the street or in the next town and were bought mainly local goods. Today, we ride the “world car”. Looking at this world car or at a fast computer. It incorporates materials, labour capital and innovations from around the world. The rise of the global market place raises few challenges. Who can best adapt to increased foreign competition? Who can quickly adapt to the information age? The stakes are high. To the winners go the profits, while the losers lag behind.
Which of the following best describes the overall purpose of the passage?

Passage 2
In many places in the world today, the poor are getting poorer while the rich are getting richer and the programmes of development planning and foreign aid appear to be unable to reverse this trend nearly all developing countries have a modern sector, where the patterns of living and working are similar to those in developed countries. But they also have a non modern sector, where the patterns of living and working are not only unsatisfactory, but in many case are getting worse.
What is typical condition of the poor in developing countries? “Their work opportunities” are so limited that they cannot work their way out of their situation. They are under employed or totally unemployed, when they do find occasional work their productivity is extremely low. Some of them have land, but often too little land. Many have no land and not prospect of ever getting any. There is no hope for them in the rural areas and so they drift into the big cities. But there is no work for them in the big cities either and of course no housing. All the same, they lock into cities because their chances of finding some works appears to be greater there than in the village, where they are mild. Rural unemployment then produces mass-migration into the cities rural unemployment becomes urban unemployment.
The problem can be stated quite simply; what can be done to promote growth outside the big cities, in the small towns and villages, which still contains 90% of the total population. The primary need is jobs. Literallymillions jobs.
