 World Trade." Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, 

 v. 420, July 1975: 46-59. 



"The healthy expansion of trade relations experienced throughout the 

 postwar era has recently been interrupted. During the 1973-74 economic boom, 

 there were widespread shortages of commodities. As the world economy has 

 plunged into a deep recession, most of the commodity shortages have dis- 

 appeared. Looking ahead for the next 10 years or so, when the world economy 

 returns to a path of normal growth, are we likely to see widespread chronic 

 commodity shortages? An analysis of prospective market conditions leads us 

 to conclude: (1) that we are not on the threshold of an era of chronic and 

 widespread commodity shortages; (2) that, indeed, the trade picture that 

 • em.erges is not favorable for developing countries; (3) that the absence of 

 global shortages in most primary commodities in the coming decade points 

 up the soundness of interdependence through trade; and (4) that while 

 trade has not so far benefited all participants equitably — and this situation 

 should be corrected in the future — trade should not be strained to the point 

 of breakdown by treating it as the only means for correcting all the inequities 

 among nations."
