Introduction

Sven Grassman and Erik Lundberg

A chapter in The World Economic Order, 1981, pp 1-8 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract During the last decade resignation and desperation with the slow rate of progress in reducing famine, disease and inadequate living standards for large portions of world population has prompted increasingly urgent and impatient all-out formulations and policies for change in the international economic system—culminating in the United Nations’ proposal for a New International Economic Order. When the stagnation of the 1970s, unprecedented in postwar history, was superimposed on the persistent problems of inequity and economic disorganisation in the less developed countries, this further weakened the potential of substantial income transfers.
