"In a world permeated with uncertainties, one near certainty is becoming evident: 'growthmanship' is occupying an increasingly important place in our national thinking as the sixties progress. The source of this increasing preoccupation with our own rat of economic growth is not difficult to perceive. It is the inexorable ascent of the economy of the USSR and, as a corollary, the competitive image we in the United States must present to the more underdeveloped areas of the world." -- From the preface.
