The New Economic Togetherness: American and Soviet Reactions

Abstract

The report describes and comments on changes in U.S. attitudes toward the Soviet Union in the early 1970s. The former belief that trade with the Soviets was a bad thing has been replaced by the feeling that it's a good thing. By selecting and juxtaposing statements from public figures, the author presents a process of rising hopes and expansiveness on the American part. The higher the level of East/West exchanges and contact, the lower the chance of conflict, it appears, and the greater the likelihood of influencing Soviet policy and practice.
