Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of the American people and the New International Economic Order (NIEO). The first requirement in establishing the U.S. Support for a NIEO, which produces genuine social and economic development, involves a significant perceptual shift. It is the shift to a common perception that the opportunity for the satisfaction of the universal needs listed in the chapter is indeed to be considered a basic human right. In the United States, such a change in perception had to take place before national social welfare programs could be enacted and implemented. In so far as the obstacles to establishing a new international order are related to that perception, their actual obstructing power will depend on the extent to which the perceptual shift has progressed. The evidence that a drastic and profound societal transformation may be under way in the highly industrialized nations such as the United States, which may have major implications for the acceptability of NIEO, is examined.
