Answer to Question 1

FALSE

Answer to Question 2

In the last three decades, free-market reforms in China and the former Soviet Union smoothed the integration of former command economies into the global economy. Numerous Asian economies-for example India, Indonesia, Malaysia, and South Korea-embraced free market norms. These events opened roughly one-third of the world to freer international trade and investment. China, India, and Eastern Europe have become some of the most cost-effective locations for producing goods and services worldwide. Privatization of previously state-owned industries in these countries has encouraged economic efficiency and attracted massive foreign capital into their national economies.
