' It is clear that the world economy is now functioning so badly that it damages both the immediate and the longer-run interests of all nations.'
An independent commission under the chairmanship of Willy Brandt has just published the results of its two-year investigation into world economic development. The report's conclusions, which arc addressed to the general public as well as governments, call for reform and restructuring not only in the ' mutual interests ' of both North and South but also to avoid the 'threat to human survival posed by the threatening chaos in the world economy.'
Mike Wooldridge discusses the implications of the Brandt Report with Keith Griffin , President of Magdalen College. Oxford. David Henderson . Professor of Political Economy at University College, London, and Kamal Hossain , Director of The Centre for Research on the New International Economic Order.
