...these acts of human kindness. Spencer launches into a lengthy passage in "The Date of Ethics" showing, through a network of cost benefits, how an individual betters his fitness by aiding his offspring. Wilson's tactics are similar. He shows that the altruist is really looking out for his long-run interests, maximizing his own reproductive success and increasing the spread of his own genes...
...Soviet grain agreement does follow that pattern, its effect in holding down price increases would at best be long-run and indirect. Assurance of a continuing Soviet market might encourage U.S. farmers to plant more crops. Also, building up of a Soviet grain reserve might discourage sudden and inflationary purchases when Russian crops fail. But nothing in the Japanese agreement prohibits additional purchases beyond the agreed minimum, and it is likely that a Soviet agreement would not do so either.

Even after that, in his mind, going back to the old era of hell-for-leather growth would only start "an endless cycle of inflation and deflation." His long-run goal is for the Japanese economy to expand at about a 5% annual rate-only half the average post-World War II pace...
