ANOTHER innovation in TIME this week is the global year-end review of business. Research for it came from 75 on-the-spot reports from staff correspondents and stringers around the entire world. In past years the review has largely concentrated on the U.S. economy. In 1959 it was apparent that the most interesting economic story of the year was the vast spread of U.S. ideas and U.S. methods to the world, not only to the already industrialized nations of Europe, but also to scores of underdeveloped lands just beginning the long march to prosperity...
