Passage Summary: An economist thinks the best way to keep foreign money in the country is to pass laws that trap it there, preventing investors from taking it back out.

Conclusion: The government should pass laws that make it difficult for overseas investors to withdraw their capital.

Reasoning: The country needs foreign capital to sustain its economy, so it cannot afford to let the current amount of invested capital decrease.

Analysis: The economist is focused entirely on keeping existing money in, while ignoring how these laws might affect new money coming in. To weaken this, look for an answer that highlights a negative side effect—specifically, that making it hard to leave will discourage investors from entering in the first place. If investors know they can't get their money out, they are much less likely to put it in, which would ultimately starve the economy of the capital it needs.
