16. The Problems with Plan 1:

PLAN 1: Self-Sufficiency
Spread investment in all sector and all regions in country.
Limit Imports and Exports (tariffs, quantity, license).
Government subsides to help some areas.
Examples?
The Problems with Plan 1:
1. Inefficient Capitalism: Even the weak survive?
2. Bureaucracy: Waste of time & money. Black market?

Take that $$$ and finance in other areas of development.

18. World Trade Organization
To promote the international trade development model, countries representing 97 percent of world trade established the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 1995.
The WTO works to reduce barriers to international trade in two principal ways.
First, through the WTO, countries negotiate reduction or elimination of international trade restrictions on manufactured goods and restrictions on the international movement of money by banks, corporations, and wealthy individuals.
Second, the WTO promotes international trade by enforcing agreements.

19. WTO Opponents
The WTO has been sharply attacked by liberal and conservative critics.
Liberal critics charge that the WTO is antidemocratic, because decisions made behind closed doors promote the interest of large corporations rather than the poor.
Conservatives charge that the WTO compromises the power and sovereignty of individual countries because it can order changes in taxes and laws that it considers unfair trading practices.
Protesters routinely gather in the streets outside high-level meetings of the WTO.

20. Foreign Direct Investment
Investment made by a foreign company in the economy of another country.
Majority sources of FDI are transnational corporations.
