Balkan peace and world economy: The case for a ‘New Marshall Plan’
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.
“The British monarchy and that monarchy’s American lackeys ... were prepared to go to extremes to launch this war, and are prepared, if permitted, to go to extremes in their efforts to prevent U.S. President Bill Clinton from bringing it to the truly peaceful conclusion which he proposed in his San Francisco address,” LaRouche writes. “My subject in this report, is the issues of global economic policy posed by any serious effort to conduct ‘A New Marshall Plan’ of economic reconstruction in the region of southeastern Europe.”

The U.S. political battle over Balkan reconstruction
by Nancy Spannaus
The Republican-controlled Congress has passed two resolutions toeing the British line against reconstruction. But policy has not yet been decided, and, as the LaRouche movement has been emphasizing, a Marshall Plan-style program for the Balkans must become the catalyst for shifting the world away from the momentum toward World War III, and toward building a new world monetary system, based on infrastructure development.
