*Original engl.: "Our policy is directed not against any country or doctrine but against hunger, poverty, desperation, and chaos. Its purpose should be the revival of a working economy in the world so as to permit the emergence of political and social conditions in which free institutions can exist." - usaid.gov http://www.usaid.gov/multimedia/video/marshall/marshallspeech.html
