520			_aThat Homo sapiens, identifiable as a sep arate species for over a million years, should have seen the dawn of wisdom hardly 18 years ago is a surprising but nevertheless true fact of history. Enlightened as the last few centuries have been, it has taken 300 years of scientific and industrial revolution and two devastating world wars for the leaders in most countries of the world to believe it practical to make benefits of civilization available to the whole of the human race. This belief has become the prime mover of the great contemporary global preoccupation with the building up of nationhood and accel erating economic development, following the emancipation of nearly 800 million people, and the heady freedom to destroy the old and build anew plucked by the leaders of another 700 million. It is against this vast canvas that the writer of "The Makings of a Just Society" has set out his perspicacious enunciation of the principles of nation building, the dynamics of rural development, the twin goals of industrial growth and social justice, and the problems and pros pects of China and India. Ambassador Chester Bowles has had a unique opportunity not only to observe but to take a responsible part in meeting the social, political, and economic problems about which he writes in this book.
