Description
This book examines the development of capitalism since 1945, tracing the challenges faced by the system in the post-war period. It describes the measures taken to address the economic slump and the ways in which most capitalist economies achieved steady growth and affluence in the 1950s and 1960s.
However, this boom was ultimately undermined by rising unemployment, which is explored in detail within the book. A comprehensive analysis of the post-war period's impact on capitalism provides valuable insights into the complexities of economic systems.
Published in 1991, this study offers a nuanced understanding of the evolution of capitalism since 1945, making it an essential read for anyone interested in economics and business history.
