The report is being issued as a Supplement to the World Economic Survey, 1975 (see above) which examined the events of the first half of the 1970s in broad aggregative terms and discussed some of the problems that are likely to influence the pattern of economic development in the second half of the decade. The present document takes a closer look at the period that followed the adoption of the International Development Strategy in October 1970. It analyzes the way in which individual countries and groups of countries reacted to the major global changes that shaped the world economy - the business cycle, the food crisis and the radical alteration in the energy situation. For convenience of discussion and statistical analysis the review is presented in three chapters, the first dealing with the developed market economies, the second with the centrally planned economies and the third with the developing countries.
