Under Roosevelt's New Deal, unions and collective bargaining were legalized. Glass-Steagall reined in speculative finance. At Bretton Woods, a global financial system was devised explicitly to allow nations to manage capitalism. Yet this golden era turned out to be lightning in a bottle. From the 1970s on, a power shift occurred, in which financial regulations were rolled back, taxes were cut, inequality worsened, and disheartened voters turned to far-right, faux populism. Robert Kuttner lays out the events that led to the postwar miracle, and charts its dissolution all the way to Trump, Brexit, and the tenuous state of the EU. Is today's poisonous alliance of reckless finance and ultra- nationalism inevitable? Or can democracy find a way to survive? 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 Economic policy. 650 0 Democracy. 650 0 Corporate state. 650 0 Taxation. 650 0 Globalization. 700 1 Chamberlain, Mike. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 12118269?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ rcb_9781684411153_180.jpeg
