问题     In a sense, the new protectionism is not protectionism at all, at least not in the traditional sense of the term. The old protectionism referred only to trade restricting and trade expanding devices, such as the tariff or export【C1】______The new protectionism is much broader than this; it includes interventions into foreign trade but is not limited to them. The new protectionism, in fact, refers to how the whole of government intervention into the private economy affects international trade. The emphasis on trade is still there, thus came the term "protection". But what is new is the realization that virtually all government activities can affect international economic relations.
    The【C2】______of the new protectionism in the Western world reflects the victory of the interventionist, or welfare economy over the market economy.

Now, as in the 1930s, protectionism is an expression of a profound skepticism as to the ability of the market to【C4】______resources and incomes to society’s satisfaction. "

In a market economy, economic change of various colors【C5】______redistribution of resources and incomes. The same opinion in many communities apparently is that such redistributions often are not proper. Therefore, the government【C6】______to bring about a more desired result.
    The victory of the welfare state is almost【C7】______in northern Europe. In Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, and the Netherlands, government intervention in almost all aspects of economic and social life is considered normal. In Great Britain this is only somewhat less true. Government【C8】______has played a very active role in economic life in France and continued to do so. Only West Germany dares to go against the tide towards【C9】______interventionism in Western Europe. It also happens to be the most successful Western European economy.
    The welfare state has made significant progress in the United States as well as in Western Europe. Social security, unemployment insurance,【C10】______wage laws, and rent control are by now traditional welfare state elements on the American scene.
