For the present edition four chapters have been added which form
the fourth 1 part at the end of the book . Entitled The triumph of
neoliberalism , the new partexplains how theimplementation
worldwide oftheneoliberal agenda paved the way for the present
crisis. As a matter of fact, the evidence provided in chapter 9
suggests that the present crisis already began to build up in the
mid-1970s. It is around 1975 that (real) US wages reached a
peak-level they would never regain in f- lowing decades. It was
also around 1975 that the number of strikes began to fall sharply.
The mid-1970s also marked the beginning of a huge in ow of
immigrants (in large part of Hispanic origin) into the United
States. The in ated supply of labor depressed wages and this had
the consequence that consumption could be increased only by an
unprecedented development of credit. Perhaps the reader may think
that to blame the prevailing economic system for the unfolding
depression is a fairly common and all too easy temptation.
