Vision of a World Economy

Gabriel, Alexander | June 28, 1965 issue

The work of the United Nations (UN) in the current economic revolution was well summed up before a Congressional committee recently by Secretary of State Dean Rusk. Almost seventeen of every twenty UN employees and nearly ninety-three cents of every UN dollar are engaged in economic, social and technical enterprises. Too frequently the UN's economic efforts are put forward in an attempt to offset its alleged political shortcomings. This defensiveness completely disregards the vision of its founders, who laid down the economic doctrine of ultimate peace.
