Toward China’s 21st-Century economy
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.
Cooperation between the U.S. Presidency and China, is now virtually the only basis for preventing a general economic collapse worldwide. The form of economic policy emerging from such cooperation would be similar, in many respects, to that which existed among the states of the “first world” during 1946-1965. “However,” LaRouche writes, “certain additional improvements must be included if the economic recovery is to be general and durable.” Such “improvements” constitute the secret of the economy of a civilized 21st Century, toward which China is presently reaching.
