Paragraph Comprehension:
Nations are political and military units, but they are not necessarily the most important units in economic life, nor are they very much alike in any economic sense. All that nations really have in common is the political aspect of their sovereignty. Indeed, the failure of national governments to control economic forces suggests that nations are irrelevant to promoting economic success.
According to the paragraph, the economic power of nations is:
controlled by political and military success
the basis of their political success
limited to a few powerful nations
relatively unimportant
