Moynihan argued that the spontaneous ideology of Third Worldism was an inheritance of Fabianism. He laid out an oppositional strategy with three key 'points of systematic attack': defending liberal institutions, including 'the most creative international institution of the twentieth century', the multinational corporation; challenging the idea of a crisis in the Third World, pointing out that 'these economies do less well than they ought: that the difference is of their own making and no one else's, and no claim on anyone else arises in consequence'; and, following the lead of organisations like Amnesty International, 'speaking for political and civil liberty' with 'enthusiasm and zeal'.
