Great Decisions 1963; Common Market: Blue Print for a New Europe
Description:
Dr. John R. Coleman, the principal television teacher of ?The American Economy? hosts this program. In the course of the program, he examines what the Common Market is, how it relates to the U.S., what economic effects it has already had and what its future effects may be, and how U.S. industry and the U.S. economy should respond to the challenge of the Common Market. He also charts the economic growth of the Common Market and compares it to the growth rate in the U.S. Those who appear during the program and their subjects are as follows. Christian Herter, special assistant to the President for trade negotiations, talks about the interest of the United States in the Common Market. Dr. Hans J. Morgenthau professor of political science and modern history at the University of Chicago discusses what the political implications of Europe?s economic changes mean to the rest of the world and to the united States in particular. Jean Monnet, president of the Action Committee for a United States of Europe, points out the parallels between the United States of America as a trading bloc and the newly-formed Common Market in Europe. He also considers the fact that the Common Market is but a means toward reaching political unity in Western Europe. Professor Walter Hallstein president of the Common market Commission, talks about the objectives of the Common market and underlines the fact that it is more than a customs union. A.R. Edwards, president of Armco International Corporation considers United States industrial ?Know-how.? H.

Locke, Jr., president of the Union Tank Car Company, considers the ability of U.S. industry to compete in the world market. This program is being produced by WQED Pittsburgh.
