What It Means
This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "In 1955 British exports of manufactures rose by only 7 per cent by value over 1954; those of the United States by 9 per cent; of Germany, by about 18 per cent; and of Japan by about 27 per cent." in the context of "p. 112" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
