You are a minister for trade and industry for a developing nation. economic fortunes are not in your country's favour at this time. you are under pressure to intervene with a series of measures to protect domestic businesses. in the past, it has been practice to restrict interventions and rely on a free market economy. business closures, poor export figures and growing unemployment is forcing your hand. the unions are demanding immediate action against overseas corporations to deter them from taking advantage of the situation. they are demanding job and wage protection. you wish to have the minimum impact on the functioning of the free market, but recognise that more drastic action might be necessary. as the minister for trade and industry, critically evaluate the options.
