Abstract

Growing shortages of resources, global warming, and pollution are a sign of how far Western-type development may go. Switching back to small-scale production may lead to a merger of the western and eastern types of development. It may lead to settlement of sparsely populated lands unsuitable for horticulture, and to considerable gains in productivity by in-creasing precision as compensation for reduced expenditure of power. This may put renewed stress on the importance of social stability that is currently taking major blows from the mount-ing imbalances of globalization.
