"The article argues that today's food, energy, materials and overall national 

 product scarcities are not caused by limitations of the earth's material 

 endowments, but rather follow from man's limited horizon and limited 

 performance. There is ample scope for continuous progress, particularly 

 in the poor lands of the world. The real problem is the political will of man, 

 operating through his private and public institutions, to create economic, 

 legal and social conditions that encourage the expansion of individual partici- 

 pation in productive activity and that enhance each individual's capacity 

 to contribute to national progress."

The assertion of economic and political power by OPEC oil-producing 



nations has raised the prospect that certain developing countries may be 



able to exercise similar control over other natural resources, particularly 



mineral resources. Three authors look at this problem.

"The current world economic situation seems to fit the cyclical 40- to 50- 

 year commodities pricing pattern first identified by N. P. Kondratiefif. If the 

 pattern continues as it has for the past two centuries, the world, after the 

 price surge of 1972-75 in foodstuffs, energy and raw materials, wiU experience 

 a high and erratic protracted plateau for perhaps 20 years and then return 

 to relatively low levels. However, we may be in the early stages of a major 

 confrontation between man and the physical limits of growth on this planet.
