In his 1942 work International Economic Disintegration, Röpke refers to two important processes that had taken place in the world economy: intensification and extensification. He defined these two trends as follows: “that the development of world economy has been, first of all, a process of intensification is as important as it is evident. It can be deduced from the fact that the most highly developed countries showed the greatest percentage of world trade , which, in view of the reciprocal nature of trade , proves that the bulk of world tra de must have belonged to economic interchange within the high-capitalistic sphere itself… At the same time, the development of world economy has been a process of continuous extensification in the sense of a spatial extension of the universal economic system over the non-capitalistic areas of the w orld ” (Röpke 1942, 11–12).—Ed.
