The period after World War Two, with its sustained growth and high
employment rate, has been referred to as the "golden age" of
capitalism. Blending historical analysis with economic theory, this
work presents essays that scrutinize the institutions that fostered
this growth and high employment as well as the forces which later
undermined the effectiveness of these institutions in the 1960s and
70s. The authors discuss the evolution of the historical
background, the macroeconomic structure, the international order,
the systems of production, as well as the "rules of coordination."
They use this to show that the golden age, like other historical
epochs, must be understood as a series of interacting
institutions--all operating in different areas, but sometimes
interlocking with one another and crucial to an intelligent
analysis of a critical period in the American experience.
Contributors include A. Glyn, A. Hughes, A. Lipietz, A. Singh, G.
Epstein, J. Schor, S. Marglin, A. Bhaduri, S. Bowles, R. Boyer, R.
Rowthorn, and M. Aoki.
