Several editors at Business Week forecast business and economic conditions the nation can expect in 1968. They believe the United States economy in 1968 is facing inflation, a jittery stock market, and the possibility of business strikes. They argue that many consumers are concerned about the Vietnam War, riots, and rising taxes. They note that mutual funds have led to a doubling of the stockholder population in the country over the past ten years.
