Publisher Marketing: From the Editors: Mankind lost a golden opportunity back in 1974-76, when, faced with the stark choice between the murderous, epidemic-causing policy of the IMF, and the New World Economic Order being proposed by Lyndon LaRouche and a host of leaders from the developing sector, the world's leading governments stuck with the IMF. From that time forward, the world economy has been a ticking time bomb, coming closer and closer to an explosion of pestilence, famine, and war. This issue of EIR presents an in-depth picture of that choice, from the perspective of the threshold of choice where we stand today. First, in our Feature, we report on the current Ebola crisis from the standpoint which Lyndon LaRouche forecast back in 1974-75: that the continuation of IMF policies in Africa and other areas of what was then called the "Fourth World," would lead to a global pandemic crisis threatening civilization, and the survival of man himself. We review our impeccable record on this subject, and the policy proposals which LaRouche and his wife Helga Zepp-LaRouche made over a decade ago. The conclusion should be obvious: People had better listen to LaRouche this time, and start to adopt the right policies, starting with tossing Obama out of office. Second, we provide an in-depth picture of the fight by LaRouche and his movement for the alternative to the IMF death policy-the new world economic order (The LaRouche Record). Our review will likely surprise you, as you learn of the four decades of intellectual interventions by LaRouche with world leaders. It should also encourage you, as it should lead you to appreciate more fully the long-term impact of ideas on the processes of history. Today's BRICS process, in fact, cannot be competently understood without understanding this 40-year battle by the LaRouches and their political movement for a new economic system, of which we can only present a reflection here. (See our archive for much more.) The third major element of this edition of EIR is little more than a promissory note, in the form of a news report on the latest international Schiller Institute conference on A New Paradigm for Mankind, held in Frankfurt, Germany Oct. 18-19 (International). We will be publishing many of the speeches from that event, starting with our next issue.
