Legacy of the Golden Age The 1960's and Their Economic Consequences

The 1960s were a turning point for postwar economic policy. They were the high point of along boom that ran from the end of the Second World War to the oil crisis in 1973. But they also saw the beginning of persistent and high levels of unemployment and inflation that have plagued the economy ever since. In this book, politicians, senior officials and well-known economists from several countries, including James Callaghan, Roy Jenkin, Robert Solow and Charles Kindleberger, discuss economic and social policy in the 1960s and its consequences.Cairncross, Frances is the author of 'Legacy of the Golden Age The 1960's and Their Economic Consequences' with ISBN 9780415071543 and ISBN 0415071542.
