ABSTRACT
One major bar to world peace is economic conflict. No doubt the cynics have overstated the case in their claim
that war always arises from economic motivations, but such forces have clearly played a major role in creating the tensions and hostilities that lead to war. In order to reduce the likelihood of war, then, it will be necessary to lower the level of economic conflict. What is needed is a world economic scheme that is simultaneously competitive and cooperative, and one that fosters rather than diminishes the ties of interdependence and commonality constitutive of a peaceful world society.
