Abstract
By "Mach's Program" is meant the intention to understand all inertial effects as being caused by gravitational interaction. Within the framework of a simplified theory of gravitation, based upon ideas by Hund and Sciama, it is easy to invent primitive cosmological models for which Mach's Program is realized. In particular, it is possible to understand the inertia of a linearly accelerated body as being due to radiative gravitational interaction with all other masses in the universe. If it is true that anti-matter has negative gravitational mass, as has been suggested by Morrison and Gold, then one may look upon Newton's second law as a manifestation of the preponderance of matter over anti-matter in our universe.
