ABSTRACT

The introduction of the World Order as the authors understand it will mean a revolution in the nature of the existing production system. Individual aims in economic life may only be pursued in such an Order in so far as they do not clash with the collective aims which are to dominate economic life. Two centuries, or even less, of world economic development, have turned the whole earth into a single production area. Modem means of transport and communication make it simpler every day to make this production area into a production unit. The idea of building up a World Production Order presupposes that one aim will be pursued in all the countries where the individualist system, based on the employer's profit, is now in force. Collective production means more than an attempt to get the bogged carriage of individualist production on to the road again.
