...longer the factory for the industrial world, the United States still carries the largest share of the burden for sparking global development. Muller attributes the stagflation that has mired national growth rates in a steady through to a vicious cricle of inflation and low productivity and likens the American scenario to the sputtering economies of less-developed countries. To combat what he calls this "Latin Americization" of the United States, he proposes concerted political efforts to both stimulate world-wide demand for American products and national consensus for greater efficiency and equity at home. Although he doesn't fall prey...
...fate of the nation hangs in the balance." With that dramatic warning, the Polish Communist Party appealed last week for an end to the labor unrest that had brought Poland to what the party itself called "the brink of economic and moral destruction." More than that, the dread scenario of Moscow intervening to prevent a key satellite from abandoning Soviet-style socialism suddenly seemed very real, perhaps imminent. Soviet troops in East Germany, Czechoslovakia and along the Poland-U.S.S.R. frontier were reported to be on full alert. East bloc propaganda guns were blazing, repetitively comparing events in Poland with...
Based on Soviet tactics in Hungary in 1956, Czechoslovakia in 1968 and Afghanistan last year, experts in Bonn outlined the following possible invasion scenario: the two Soviet divisions stationed in Poland would quickly try to secure strategic points, notably major airports, so that infantry and light artillery could be flown in as reinforcements. At the same time, tank forces and additional motorized infantry would move across the borders from the Soviet Union and East Germany. Soldiers from the satellites would be used sparingly, in case anti-Soviet feeling flared throughout the East bloc. East German troops would probably be withheld...
...scenario calling for complete U.S. freedom from foreign oil supplies is probably a petro-pipedream. But the notion of using solar satellites to capture vast amounts of energy may not be very farfetched at all. In spite of considerable scoffing at the sci-fi grandiosity of the idea, a report published last week, after a threeyear, $19.5 million study undertaken by the Department of Energy in collaboration with NASA, indicates that there are no insurmountable technological hurdles in the way of solar power satellites (SPS) as a major alternative energy source...
Fiscal conservatives like Reagan Advisers Alan Greenspan, the Ford Administration's chief economic adviser, and George Shultz, who was Richard Nixon's Treasury Secretary, (986.35 dispute the Simon scenario. They note that the 1981 budget has a deficit of at least $50 billion already locked in. The addition of $10 billion to $20 billion in defense spending increases pledged by Reagan plus the planned tax cut would put the budget $100 billion in the red. Says Lora Collins, a Conference Board economist: "Reagan's growth policy runs a real risk of overstimulating, while no one knows...
