Development is the Name for Peace

     As you look around the world, you may wonder how it came about that one nation after another has lined up behind the LaRouche perspective for global development. It was not a miracle. As a universal genius, Lyndon LaRouche sought to apply his ideas universally--not just in his immediate neighborhood. Over a span of decades, more and more of the world's leaders came to the view that some version of his approach was the only possible way to achieve a better future for their nations.

      The two Schiller Institute conferences of 1988, were watersheds in this process. Both were held on the theme, Toward a New World Economic Order, the first convened in Andover, Massachusetts, in January, and the second in Cologne, Germany in March.

      In the presentations of the two conferences transcribed here, you will encounter not just solutions, but the image of Man necessary for leaders to stand up courageously against organized evil.

      You will read the inside stories of leaders such as former Foreign Minister of Guyana, Fred Wills, who went head to head against Henry Kissinger and, in a speech before the United Nations General Assembly, became the first government official in the world to propose a debt moratorium as a pathway to overcoming the enforced imperial looting of the Third World.

      As you read the enclosed presentations, remember that they are not just speeches, but history-changing interventions which created the opportunity for the founding, beginning in 2013, of a whole series of International Development Banks, based upon LaRouche’s Hamiltonian proposal of 1975.
