They regarded families of the same size with incomes below that level as poverty-stricken. See: Statistical Abstract of the United States, 1976, p. 415.

  46. The health training capacity of the USA, for example, does not satisfy the needs of the country. Out of the total hospital staff of the USA, the ratios of those who had gained their higher education abroad were 9 per cent in 1951, 24 per cent in 1964 and 30 per cent in 1967. A significant percentage of each of them came from the developing countries via “brain drain” to the USA, where public health service is at a rather low level. (The Financial Times, May 8, 1968). In the years 1967 to 1973, the number of those who had received a medical degree was between 7,400 and 9,300 a year, while the number of immigrant physicians and surgeons was around 3,300 to 7,100 Statistical Abstract of the United States, 1976, pp. 146 and 575.

  50. Bourgeois economists regarded the social (collective) costs stemming from pollution caused by private enterprises, e.g. the costs of converting polluted water into drinking water, as external costs, and had treated them up to the 1970s as arising only in exceptional cases. However, these external costs assumed such high proportions in the 1960s that “it was no longer possible to neglect”. (Business in Brief, No. 103, New York, Chase Manhattan Bank, N. A.)
