The sheer size of the United States economy makes it vitally important to much of the rest of the world. Indeed cyclical and structural changes within it may have more profound effects on foreigners than on Americans. Foreigners are understandably concerned about their vulnerability, and it is clear that this problem has for some time been recognized by economists and policy-makers everywhere.In particular, since the experiences of the 1930's, United States recessions have assumed the ominous role of an economic plague capable of rapidly and seriously debilitating productive activity in many countries. The principal cause of this debilitation is the curtailment of United States imports. Only if economic activity is maintained at reasonably high levels in the United States does this problem appear to be manageable. An optimistic view of the possibility of avoiding deep depression is widespread, and it is supported by the record of the past twelve years; but less severe or "normal" cyclical activity is something we must live with, and recessions of the magnitudes of those of 1948-9, 1953-4, and 1957-8 may be capable of sufficiently strong "side effects" on imports to cause serious difficulty in other countries. That this danger has been a principal theme of international economics in the post-war period is reflected in recent commentaries on its failure to materialize in 1957-8. The discovery that recession in the United States need not seriously depress imports is perhaps the most surprising feature of the 1957-8 downswing.
