An unusual piece of 1970s economic, political, and social-history ephemera, this New International Economic Order Education / Action Kit was prepared in November 1976 by staff and volunteers of the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), New England Regional Office, Cambridge, Massachusetts. The kit explores the movement to create a New International Economic Order (NIEO)—an international effort during the 1970s to reconsider the economic relationship between industrialized nations and developing countries. CONTENTS: Rather than being a single booklet, this is a substantial folder-style educational resource containing numerous separate reports, articles, study materials, and action pieces, along with a large fold-out NIEO wall chart/poster. Topics represented in the kit include multinational corporations, corporate charters, land and water resources, oceans and the Law of the Sea, Bangladesh, military and social expenditures, energy conservation, community land trusts, alternative technology, world banking and currency proposals, women and the NIEO, economic alternatives in the United States, and Gandhi's approach to nonviolent economics. Individual inserts include such intriguing period titles as “Multinationals—A Dissenting View,” “The Oceans—Deciding for Future Generations,” “What Is Intermediate Technology?,” “New World Bank and Currency Proposal,” and “NIEO, Peace Education, and Gandhi's Spinning Wheel.” The collection provides an interesting snapshot of the debates surrounding globalization, economic inequality, resource distribution, multinational corporations, development, environmental resources, and international trade in the 1970s. Many of these subjects remain part of economic and international-policy discussions today, making the kit particularly interesting for researchers, educators, collectors of political and social-history ephemera, and anyone interested in comparing 1970s ideas about the world economy with later debates. SIZE: Folder measures approximately 12" × 9½". CONDITION: The outer folder shows age-related toning and edge wear consistent with its age. Please examine the photographs carefully for condition. The photos also show the Table of Contents, examples of the original inserts, and the large fold-out NIEO wall chart/poster. A fascinating and unusually comprehensive surviving educational resource from 1976, documenting an important period in international economic and social-policy debate.
