...story, Correspondent George Bookman went on a five-week trip to seven European countries in the course of which he interviewed 96 top government officials, economists and businessmen. His report, bolstered by additional material from TIME'S European and U.S. bureaus, brought into focus a new American-type capitalism that around the world is replacing the old system of cartels and feudal wealth. The Tokyo bureau added the story of Japan's striking progress, while the Hong Kong bureau analyzed the trials, tribulations and triumphs of Southeast Asia.

Now everything suggests that a new tide is racing which could determine whether the decade and a half from 1960 to 1975 will repeat the last 15 years of success...
...refused to unload the cattle from the boat, which by that time was two feet deep in month-old manure. Delfino, one of his partners, Clarence Peavy, and their employees pitched in and got the cattle off the boat. In all, Delfino lost about $30,000 on the first trip. "But it was well worth it," says he. "If I could go through all that trouble and still make out with the cattle in good shape, I knew it would be a profitable operation with good equipment and proper care...
