Notes:

  • Includes bibliographical references (pages 143-152) and index.
  • From the 18th century to the 1930s: war and depression — 1945 to 1975: the golden age — The legacy of the 1970s: a crisis of capitalism — 1995 to 2005: the new paradigm — Our times: the Great Crash — The future: 21st century GDP.
  • Why did the size of the U S economy increase by 3 percent on one day in mid-2013 – or Ghana’s balloon by 60 percent overnight in 2010? Why did the U K financial industry show its fastest expansion ever at the end of 2008 – just as the world’s financial system went into meltdown? This title deals with these questions.
