An Economist believes that to sustain the country’s economy, they should pass laws making it more difficult for investors to remove their capital. This is because the economy depends on overseas capital and they cannot afford any reduction in that investment.

The Economist assumes that these laws would not reduce the net amount of investment from overseas investors.

While diversifying investments could help sustain the economy, this does not weaken the Economist’s argument. This is irrelevant to the argument’s premises and conclusion.

This challenges the Economist’s assumption that the overall amount of investment in the country would not decrease if such laws were enacted. This suggests that the law would cause further investment to ultimately decrease

If anything, this reinforces the idea that overseas investment is beneficial to the economy.

While this questions the efficacy of the laws, it does not address whether they will sustain the economy or harm future investment. That is the crux of the argument.

This does not challenge the economist’s reasoning. The economist just wants stronger laws.
