The Future—Your Share in Its Promises
A problem can be a promise. The revolution in our employment structure which, as you read in Chapter Ten, has erased hundreds of thousands of jobs also has, as you II read in this chapter, made our over-all economy more depression-proof than ever before.
The jams in our cities which have forced tens of millions into the suburbs also are compelling our cities to realize that their survival is endangered. As they rebuild and redevelop, there are faint but convincing signs of a trek back to the metropolitan areas. As there is a problem to industry in the rising intensity of competition, so there is a promise to the consumer in the stabilizing of prices. As the pocketbook pinch created by the skyrocketing teen-ager population in our lands presents a problem to one industry so it presents a promise to another. Inherent in every problem is a promise.
