ABSTRACT

The market of Greater Europe is determined by the number of its inhabitants, by their incomes and by the productivity of their labour. The object of all modern-minded Europeans must consist essentially of arming Europe with something other than ruinous and illusory striking forces or more numerous conventional divisions. In 1965, Greater Europe invested capital to the value of $87 billion, and the United States to the value of 118 - 35% more, although their economy is already much more developed than Greater Europe’s and their population is 21% lower. The housing problem is connected with the productivity problem in two different ways. On the one hand, plentiful dwelling make the labour force more readily mobile. On the other, good housing situated near their place of work relieves workers of tiring journeys, of the disconfort of hiring costly furnished quarters and of the need to spend time in cafes.
