The collapse of the East European regimes has led many commentators to proclaim the international victory of capitalism. This challenging and comprehensive book charts the development of capitalism in the post-war period and demonstrates how, on two occasions since 1945, the system has faced severe threats. In 1945 support was widespread for a new economic system untarnished by responsibility for the slump of the 1930s and the subsequent war. Rolling back the challenge to the capitalist order in Europe and Japan is shown to be the major task of post-war reconstruction. the susbequent unprecedented boom of the 1950s and 1960s saw sustained growth of living standards, the consolidation of the welfare state and the acceptance of interventionist policies throughout the industrialized world. Yet the very strength of the boom undermined itself as workers' bargaining power rose and the United States' economic pre-eminence was eroded. From the mid-1960s profits began to fall, inflation accelerated and investment faltered. The Oil Shock of 1973 exposed the vulnerability of the capitalist economies. The resulting slowdown saw stagnant living standards, mass unemployment and a turn to free market policies. Economic growth in the 1980s has been hesitant and plagued by financial instability. This book should be widely read by students of the contemporary European and OECD economies. It is accessible to those approaching the subject from economics, political economy, international relations and economic history. It represents the only attempt to document the economic history of the major advanced capitalist countries since 1945 which combines the interpretation of the major macoreconomic trends ; the evolution of industrial relations ; the development of economic policies ; the course of international economic relations.
