...will keep on meeting each mini-crisis by tacking on still more restrictions on the international movement of capital, ultimately damaging world trade, tourism and investment. Last week West Germany, Switzerland and Japan imposed new restrictions on investments or bank deposits by foreigners in their countries, thus hoping to limit inflationary increases in their domestic money supplies. Should that pattern continue, by the time nations finally agree to start looking for lasting solutions, they may be facing each other across dangerously high barriers that retard economic freedom...
