TL;DR: A casual reading of contemporary news reports suggests that during the past decade economic issues have taken on growing importance in the relations of non-Communist developed countries as mentioned in this paper, which is perhaps symbolic of the enormous success of early postwar foreign policy that issues no graver than these play such a prominent part in relations among countries that, earlier in the century, were sporadically at each other's throats.
Abstract: A Casual reading of contemporary news reports suggests that during the past decade economic issues have taken on growing importance in the relations of non-Communist developed countries. The disputes between the United States and Japan over textiles, between the United States and the European Economic Community over agricultural trade, and between France and Germany over currency alignments come readily to mind. It is perhaps symbolic of the enormous success of early postwar foreign policy that issues no graver than these play such a prominent part in relations among countries that, earlier in the century, were sporadically at each other's throats.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that the creation and operation of black economic institutions can lead to increased racial integration in the United States, and they make use of unsystematic naturalistic or observational evidence of the operation of ghetto-controlled economic institutions, particularly community development corporations.
Abstract: Contrary to immediate appearances, the creation and operation of black economic institutions can lead to increased racial integration in the United States. The argument for this statement can be made now with unsystematic naturalistic or observational evidence of the operation of ghetto-controlled economic institutions—particularly community development corporations. More systematic study will be needed, but theoretically the hypothesis is expected as a result of (1) increased opportunities for, indeed the social requirement of, equal-status interpersonal interactions inherent in normal business relationships, and (2) the interdependence of economic institutions within and without the ghetto, an interdependence which requires interracial contacts. The Special Impact Program of the U. S. Office of Economic Opportunity is considered as an economic development program that encourages integration by encouraging local community control of the economic institutions.
