The shaping or reformulation of the aims of economic policy which are only vaguely felt may be exemplified in the aim of social justice. - Jan Tinbergen

What matters is the di¤erence between qualities available and qualities required by the demand side, that is by the organization of production.

Mankind’s problems can no longer be solved by national governments. What is needed is a World Government. This can best be achieved by strengthening the United Nations system. In some cases, this would mean changing the role of UN agencies from advice-giving to implementation. But some of the most important new institutions would be financial—a World Treasury and a World Central Bank. Just as each nation has a system of income redistribution, so there should be a corresponding ‘World Financial Policy’ to be implemented by the World Bank and the World Central Bank. Some of these proposals are, no doubt, far-fetched and beyond the horizon of today’s political possibilities. But the idealist of today often turns out to be the realists of tomorrow.

Educational policies deserve to be programmed not only with a view to improving education in the widest sense, but also in order to ináuence the income distribution.
