“The pressure of an acquisitive society has made quite frightening demands on family life. Mothers with younger children go out to work in the millions. The juvenile crime rate soars upwards, homes are broken, and the family unit itself is undermined at its source…If the developing nations succeed in raising the standards of living to such an extent that there is far greater freedom...
