Extract

Economic growth in the industrial countries was less in 1967 than in any year since 1958. Their industrial production rose by only about 2 per cent and their total output by about 3 per cent. The slowing down was most marked in North America and West Germany, but Japan was the only major industrial country to maintain (and indeed improve upon) the previous year's rate of industrial expansion or to achieve a significantly bigger increase in total national output.
