Excerpt from Robert B. Reich, *The Work of Nations: Preparing Ourselves for 21st-Century Capitalism*, 1991:
"We are living through a transformation that will rearrange the politics and economics of the coming century. There will be no national products or technologies, no national corporations, no national industries. There will no longer be national economies, at least as we have understood that concept. All that will remain rooted within national borders are the people who comprise a nation. Each nation's primary assets will be its citizens' skills and insights. The coping capacity of the United States depends on the global value of the services its citizens can perform."
Which of the following developments in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries best represents the economic transformation described in the passage?
- The growth of multinational corporations that outsourced manufacturing and service-sector jobs to developing nationsCevap
- BA return to mercantilist trade policies that established government-monopolized trade routes to protect domestic industries
- CThe expansion of Great Society initiatives that guaranteed federal public-works employment to all service-sector workers
- DThe adoption of supply-side policies that prioritized increased federal spending and demand-side economic stimulus
