Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

The anti-globalization argument against trade is relatively new. This argument includes the notion that free trade destroys the culture of many countries and that factories locating to low-income countries do not meet environmental or safety regulations that are imposed in high-income countries. The protectionism argument has been around for centuries. Protectionism is usually justified on the basis of one of the following four arguments: saving jobs, protecting high wages, protecting infant industries, and protecting national security.
