Flexible & Unorthodox. Many of these ideas stem from Prebisch, whose critics call him a statist-although he refuses to be typed. "Save the world from economists," he says. "Experts cannot run the world." But Prebisch has spent 30 years trying to change a good part of the world through his flexibly unorthodox theories. In his early days, Prebisch fastened on to the conservative doctrines of the classical economists...
...Norway into NATO. His successor was expected to be blond, husky Conservative Floor Leader John Lyng, 58, attorney and brilliant prosecutor of Norway's Nazi war criminals. Conservative Lyng's four-party coalition consists chiefly of farmers, merchants and industrialists, whose economic views are less statist than the Laborites'; but Lyng will hardly try to alter Norway's deeply ingrained welfare society-and certainly not its NATO policies.

...straw man who resembles him as closely as possible.

In Argentina, President Arturo Frondizi, sacrificing popularity and his oldtime leftist principles, is taking Argentina along the harsh, bitter road of hard work and self-denial, back from the handout, statist economics of Dictator Peron. In Chile, bachelor President Alessandri is trying to get Chile back to financial solvency by raising production and cutting away government deadwood. The runaway welfare state of Uruguay, pushed by Benito Nardone, a new face on its nine-man government council, is keeping its famed democracy...
