Der Artikel kritisiert das europäische Entwicklungsmodell (als Vorbild) und spricht von der Irrationalität des freien Marktes (der nach dem Recht des Stärkeren funktioniert). Der Autor arbeitet die Notwendigkeiten eines alternativen Entwicklungsweges heraus: autonome nationale Entwicklung, strukturelle Transformation zur besseren Erschließung der Produktivkräfte, Vorrang der Nahrungsmittelproduktion im besonderen und der ländlichen Entwicklung im allgemeinen.

The theme of this article is true full employ ment : the opportunity for all to work for living wages. Under the heading of a full employment policy, we reject the creation of substandard jobs, no matter how many. A policy of guaranteed employment that fails to provide for living wage levels could easily turn into a device for forcing reluctant workers into substandard jobs. A true full employment policy must rest on three principles: (1) a guarantee of the right to useful job opportunities for all workers; (2) the creation of standards for family living wages, at least for principal wage earners, since a pure employment policy with no proper wage standards will merely succeed in reproducing poverty; and (3) a com prehensive framework of manpower, production and capac ity planning. Without this, a job guarantee at living wages is sure to fail, because the task of full employment policy is enormous. It must not merely create millions of jobs; it must upgrade tens of millions.
