SUMMARY
Examines the economies of Burma and Thailand in the process of transition from "underdeveloped" to self-sustaining. Compares economic progress in the two countries since World War II, noting the degree of government control over industry, population and per capita income increases, gross national product and investments, trade patterns, and agricultural productivity. Discusses economic investment of both countries in social facilities, in industrial planning, and in management and labor training. Indicates that both countries will continue to need foreign investments and assistance. Suggests that the farmer is still the most important labor force and agriculture the most valuable economic resource. [TAIC]
