4. Contrast the positive and negative effects that foreign investments can have on postcolonial
countries.
ANS: Foreign investment can create jobs in postcolonial countries, but these jobs are
generally very low-paying. Foreign investment creates more, high-paying, jobs in the
postindustrial countries which also receive most of the profit. This results in the wealth of a
postcolonial country being siphoned off, as cheap raw materials and labor are used to
increase the wealth of the former colonizing countries.

and received less aid. Semiperipheral countries tended to have strict government policies that
controlled the economy. These included restricting unions, keeping wages low, taxing
consumer goods, limiting importing of foreign goods, and preventing citizens from investing
abroad. Finally, semiperipheral countries such as Taiwan and Korea had a great deal of social
solidarity that enabled them to achieve consensus about development policy. The internal
conflicts of countries in Sub-Saharan Africa enabled colonizers to play different groups off
of each other, and also made it easier for imperial powers to rule; these consequences have
resulted in even further conflict after independence.
PGS: 164-165 SOURCE: pickup LO: 5
8. Explain the policies of neoliberal globalization; discuss whether or not they are effective in
promoting economic development.
ANS: Neoliberal globalization policy favors private industry and minimal government
interference in the economy. Specific policies would promote foreign investment, and
remove all tariffs, taxes, and any other restrictions that might discourage international buying
and selling. Many social scientists do not believe that these policies are an effective way to
promote economic development. Historically, neoliberalism has never been a successful
strategy during the early stages of industrialization. In addition, the U.S., which has been an
advocate of neoliberalism, had protectionist policies until the end of WWII, and continues to
have a great deal of governmental involvement in the economy today.
PG: 221-222 SOURCE: pickup LO: 13
9. Describe the four aspects of globalization reform that are discussed as a means of enabling
less developed countries to grow economically.
ANS: The text suggests that foreign aid must be monitored to ensure it is being used for
helpful projects, and is not wasted. Canceling much of the debt of developing countries
would enable developing countries to put their resources into building up an economic
infrastructure and providing basic services for their populations. If rich countries would
eliminate tariffs, particularly on agricultural products, developing countries would be better
able to export their goods and stimulate their economies. This strategy has not had much
support among rich countries. Finally, promoting democratic government would aid in
economic development. Research indicates that democracy lowers inequality and promotes
economic growth. It makes it more difficult for elite groups to benefit at the expense of
others, and creates a better investment climate by enhancing political stability.

As she spoke, she was heaping together some dried
herbage in one corner, and she now bade me lie down, and
covered me with the same. She then produced some dried
flesh and a little flask of wine, and would have me eat and
drink, setting herself the example.
"For several reasons," she answered. "I had seen one that I
knew for a priest, despite his secular dress, peeping and
prying about the place, and I knew he had questioned the
children as to your comings and goings. I had thought to
warn you, but was too late. Then I did not believe a pirate
would have taken such a roundabout course, or would have
known the country so well, and—I cannot well tell you, but
it was borne in on my mind that you were in mine old
prison; and I was determined at least to find out. I had
made up my mind to gain entrance as a pilgrim to the
shrine above, and I had some precious relics wherewith to
pay my way," she added, with a bitter smile.
"That would have been putting your head into the lion's
mouth with a vengeance!" I said.
"Nay, they would not have known me. The Lady is away,
and all who had ever seen me were dead, or in no case to
recognize me. You know I never frequented the convent
gates, and while I was a prisoner, no one saw me but that
kind old woman who waited on me, and the old priest.
Beside that, my stained face and gray hair would have been
a good enough disguise. Then when I saw how thick the ivy
grew on the old tower, it occurred to me that I might gain
entrance in that way, and no thanks to any of them; and I
was considering the matter when you called me. But how
did you come to the top of the tower?"
"You see you must rest," said Magdalen, as she once more
produced her flask of wine, gave me to drink, and bathed
my face with water. "You are utterly worn out, and no
wonder. Do but remain quiet for a few hours, and then if
you are able, we will go down to Coombe Ashton together."
I could not but allow that she was right; and the more, as I
really was unable to stand without giddiness. Magdalen
once more arranged my rough bed, and I sank into a sound
sleep, from which I waked to hear the sound of voices; and
raising myself on my elbow, I saw Magdalen in low but
earnest converse with an elderly man, who looked like a
shepherd. As I moved, she turned and hastened to my side.
Magdalen hesitated. "If I tell you, Lady, I place his life and
that of others in your hands. Yet you are now one of us,
having suffered for the faith. You have heard of the
Lollards?"
She told me "that ever since his day, there had been many
of the faithful, both in England and in Scotland, who
preserved their English Bibles and other books, and met in
secret and wild places to read and study the same, and to
pray and praise together. In the towns," said she, "we do
know the faithful by certain private marks placed upon their
dwellings; and we meet in inner chambers and cellars. In
the country, we betake ourselves to dens and caves of the
earth, like the faithful of old, and this is one of our meeting-
places."
"That is he, and one of the best," she answered me. "There
are others scattered through this wild moorland country,
and this cavern, where we have found refuge, is one of our
meeting-places. Here also do we keep a supply of food and
drink for any persecuted ones fleeing as a bird from the
fowler, and it was on this business that John Dean came
hither this morning."
"God grant it!" said she. "One thing I know, that the
religious houses and orders are growing less and less in
favor with the people. Your convent yonder is of the best,
and gives much in charity, nor did I ever hear of scandal
within its walls as long as I have lived near it; yet if it were
put down to-morrow, as some of the small houses have
already been, I do not believe a hand would be raised in its
defence."
CHAPTER XLIII.
IT was but the other day that in looking over my papers and
books (for I am an old woman, and must needs be thinking
of setting my house in such order as I would leave it), I
came upon this volume, containing the record of my girlish
days. I have had much pleasure in perusing it, and thus
going back to the days of my childhood and youth.
I never saw and one more amazed than she was when I
told her the secret of the fire which destroyed the shrine of
St. Ethelburga, for, as I believed at the time, she had no
knowledge of the plot which had so nearly destroyed me.
She was absent, even as the priest told me, at a chapter in
Exeter, and they thought to complete their work and
remove all its traces before her return. Nay, I have always
believed that but for their signal and most unexpected
discomfiture, she herself might have been the next victim,
for she had more than one bitter enemy in the house,
specially in Sister Catherine, who never forgave her
humiliation, and who afterward bruited some shameful
scandals about dear Mother and the rest of the family.
No doubt there was much injustice and greed in the way the
convents and religious foundations were put down, and
good and bad were often involved in one common ruin. Yet
I do believe the suppression of the convents wrought good
in the end. Such a life as theirs is utterly without warrant in
Scripture or reason. 'Tis clean against nature too, and it
could not be but that great disorders should grow out of it.
The very almsgiving, whereof so much was made, did foster
a swarm of beggars and idlers, and since, in the nature of
things, but little discretion could be used by those who
never saw the folk at their own homes, the most impudent
and worthless fared the best. I believe our house was better
than the general run. There was no open scandal in my
time, at least, and all were kindly treated; yet I would
sooner see a daughter of mine in her coffin than doomed to
such a living death.
