Text: The sources of economic health

In 1776, new technologies were being invented and applied to the manufacture of cotton and wool, iron, transportation and agriculture in what came to be called the ‘Industrial Revolution’.

Adam Smith was keenly interested in these events. He wanted to understand the sources of economic wealth, and he brought his acute powers of observation and abstraction to bear on this question.

C.It is understood that Goldman’s intention in seeking its first such banking licence is limited to providing bank accounts and related services to wealthy individuals

Newspaper item: Global investment bank seeks banking licence

Goldman Sachs, the global investment bank, is considered obtaining a state licence that would allow it to offer a wider array of banking products.

Goldman is fending off competition from companies with commercial banking arms that are using their lending powers to bid for investment banking work.

It is understood that Goldman’s intention in seeking its first such banking licence is limited to providing bank accounts and related services to wealthy individuals.

However, having the banking licence would give Goldman greater flexibility in attracting deposits and making loans.

Goldman is interested in obtaining a licence for a Utah industrial loan corporation, a kind of bank that is regulated by the state and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Morgan Stanley and Merill Lynch both have such a licence, which allows them to offer commercial banking products without being super-vised by the two main federal banking regulators: the Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department’s Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.

Investment banks have gravitated to Utah to set up banking arms because they tend to view federal banking regulators with suspicion, seeing them as slow to embrace innovation.

27. What is the main idea of the text?

A.Goldman Sachs is the global investment bank.

B. Goldman is interested in obtaining a licence for a Utah industrial loan corporation.

C. The global investment bank, is considered obtaining a state licence that would allow it to offer a wider array of banking products.
