| Abstract | This speech by the director of the U.S. Agency for International Development (AID), describes AID's purposes and responsibilities and challenges teachers to consider future economic conditions of the world. Population forecasts are presented indicating that, of the 25 world's largest cities in the year 2000, only six will be located in developed nations. Specific economic impacts on the United States and on developing nations are noted if developing nations do not experience economic growth. Suggesting that nations that have market economies, open trade, and democratic systems have been the ones to advance the fastest economically, this paper explains AID's commitment to examining various countries' economic policies and to promoting the teaching of basic economic principles in U.S. classrooms. Teachers are encouraged to: (1) develop students' knowledge and interest in economics and developing nations; (2) teach the concept that, when economies are not growing, human suffering occurs; and (3) help eliminate indifference toward economic stagnation and growth in the developing world.
