During the Second World War several independent business
organizations in the US devoted considerable energy to formulating
and advocating social and economic policy options for the US
government for implementation after the war. This 'planning
community' of far-sighted businessmen joined with academics and
government officials in a nationwide endeavor to ensure that the
colossal levels of productivity achieved by the US during wartime
continued into the peace. At its core this effort was part of a
wider struggle between liberals, moderates and conservatives over
determining the economic and social responsibilities of government
in the new post-war order. In this book, Charlie Whitham draws on
an abundance of unpublished primary material from private and
public archives that includes the minutes, memoranda, policy
statements and research studies of the major post-war business
planning organisations on a wide range of topics including monetary
policy, demobilization, labor policy, international trade and
foreign affairs. This is the untold story of how the post-war
business planners - of all hues - helped shape the 'moderate'
consensus which prevailed after 1945 over a permanent but limited
government responsibility for fiscal, welfare and labor affairs,
advanced American interests overseas and established.
