How the National Association of Manufacturers Planned to Restore American Free Enterprise, 1939-1948

Beschreibung

• Examines the meticulous planning during World War II of US business conservatives to advance the interests of private capitalism in the post-war era.
• Locates the influence of corporate conservatives in articulating the wartime fatigue of Americans with New Deal liberalism and in restoring the image of private capitalism by war's end.
• Explains why it was the 'moderate' business groups, and not the conservatives, that finally 'won out' in the contest over deciding the post-war character of US political economy.
