Exiting from the Cold War: Problems of Economics and Politics

by Seymour Melman, Clemens Lecture Series 4, 1990

Introduction

Natural catastrophes are familiar occurrences. They render many people homeless, hungry, without clothing or medical care. Every industrial state has means of responding with emergency measures and special teams to rescue the people impacted by natural catastrophe. Relief is brought in swiftly by plane, rail and truck; special grants of money are made quickly available to individuals, firms and communities; central governments are prepared to mobilize resources from all parts of the nation for the rescue mission to restore acceptable conditions of life.
