**Analysis**
The text discusses the potential benefits of a general expansion of the world economy, focusing on the growth rates of developing countries and the required foreign resources. It examines the feasibility of achieving high growth rates, assuming that developed countries will share in this expansion. The text's main concern is the economic performance of developing countries, particularly their growth rates, capital-output ratios, and required foreign resources.
