| Sumario: | This article analyzes a dire future and remedies for inflation in Great Britain. Britain's standard of living rests on an assumption that the world market wants its manufactured products; will pay dearly for them; and contains cheap food and raw material surpluses needed to sustain population and industry. Against the continuing British assumption world market conditions--to which we are hopelessly vulnerable--have changed inexorably. Demand at world level is a function of population; and world population has expanded from around 1,000 million in 1830 to 2,000 million in 1930; to 3,500 million in 1970 and, it is estimated to between 6,000 and 7,000 million by the year 2000.
