For some twenty years after the Second World War, Keynesian economic policies in countries of the capitalist West were successful in generating rapid growth with high employment. This "golden age" of capitalism did not survive the economic traumas of the 1970s ; nor has the more recent emphasis on monetarist policies and supply-side performance succeeded in regenerating comparable growth rates. This book examines the making and unmaking of the "golden age" in terms of the arrangements which fostered sustained growth and high employment after the war, and the forces which undermined the effectiveness of these arrangements. Blending historical analysis with economic theory, the volume questions the basis of much present policy-making and suggests alternative directions for policy. The authors emphasize that this historical epoch must be understood as a set of interlocking institutions, and that the interactions between these institutions, operating in different areas, are crucial. Accordingly, the macroeconomic structure, the international order, the system of production, and the "rules of coordination" are examined; The book's thought-provoking analysis will be of much interest to policy-makers and academics alike.
