The article discusses the transition of the U.S. economy to peacetime, which is referred to as a "crisis process" because of the potential for war and the focus on developing atomic energy. Industrial capacity and military preparedness in a civilian economy require a deflation of military requirements--a balancing of guns and butter--so that the economy can expand at home and abroad. The current industrial mobilization to meet an expanding economy needs strategic materials--some of which are scarce and must be imported. Topics include the Controlled Materials Plan for military procurement, the distinction between industrial production in the cold war and the clearly defined foreign wars of World War I and II, and the import-export balance. |
