Economic disruption has accompanied the growth of cultural chaos. There is very little trade between Communist and non-Communist countries, and even in the non-Communist parts of the world there is a growing belief in autarchy. It is felt that since industrialism is the source of military power, every country ought to industrialize itself as fast as possible. This requires high tariffs, a lessening of commerce and a diminution in food supplies, combined with a sudden increase in the rate at which populations grow. The tendency of such a state of affairs is to promote a clash of creeds, economic disaster, famine, and war. These evil consequences can only be avoided if mankind decide to conduct their affairs in a manner less insane than that now prevalent. |
