FEARS ARE MOUNTING THAT THE NEW WORLD ORDER MAY FOUNDER ON A MUCH-BRUITED GLOBAL CAPITAL SHORTAGE. THIS ARTICLE EXPLORES THE NEAR TERM AND LONG TERM OUTLOOK IN INTERNATIONAL CAPITAL MARKETS AND ITS GEOPOLITICAL IMPLICATIONS. A GLOBAL CAPITAL SHORAGE WOULD REFLECT SUCCESSFUL RECONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT IN PARTS OF THE WORLD MOSTLY UNTOUCHED BY ECONOMIC GROWTH SINCE WORLD WAR II. THE NEW WORLD ORDER IS DEFINED AS POST-COLD WAR RESPONSIBLITY-SHARING. THE GREATEST CONTRIBUTION THAT THE UNITED STATES CAN MAKE DURING THE 1990S TOWARD THE SUCCESS OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER LIES IN STRENGTHENING ITS OWN ECONOMY. IF THE PROMISE OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER FAILS TO MATERIALIZE, THE BLAME WILL FALL IN LARGE MEASURE ON THE UNITED STATES.

ON TUESDAY OCTOBER 20, 1987, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL REPORTED THAT "THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE DIED." WITHIN AN HOUR OR SO AFTER ITS DEATH, THE MARKET WAS REBORN. THE MANNER OF ITS REBIRTH DEMONSTRATES THAT NO ONE, NOT EVEN AN AYN RAND DISCIPLE SUCH AS FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD CHAIRPERSON ALAN GREENSPAN, REALLY BELIEVES THAT MARKETS SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO FUNCTION FREELY, WITHOUT INTERVENTION. BUT THE "CORRECTNESS" OF STATE INTERVENTION IN THIS CASE RAISES THE QUESTION OF WHY IT WOULD NOT BE CORRECT IN OTHER MARKETS. THE ANSWER IS THAT SIMILAR INTERVENTIONS ARE DESIRABLE. SOCIALLY IMPORTANT ISSUES SUCH AS THE DISTRIBUTION OF INCOME, THE COMPOSITION OF OUTPUT, ECOLOGICAL ISSUES, AND THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE POPULATION ARE DETERMINED IN THE MARKET. IN EACH CASE THEIR RESOLUTION SHOULD BE SUBJECTED TO A DEMOCRATIC EVALUATION, AND WHERE NECESSARY, A CORRECTIVE POLICY.
