"My aim is to make more understandable to Americans -- who seldom think of the impact of economic or monetary events in other parts of the world may have on their economic fortunes -- that indeed in today's world it is vitally important to understand what these conditions and trends are, and how they will in time affect our own lives. The recent difficulties brought about by improvident bank lending to countries in Latin America is but example of the linkage between political and economic events on international relations.
Global economic and political change will continue. In all probability it will accelerate. There is therefore all the more reason to analyze again the effect of such changes in the last three years since the prior edition came out in order to determine, if possible, what future changes may be in order and how they will affect the global economy that today regulates ourlives to an extent not dreamed of by preceding generations."
