Subject: [A-List] traces 70s economic/political turning point/s as requested by Leo

'' I am indeed very interested ... as part of Sam Gindin's and my attempt to trace the 'turning point' in American economic policy through the 1970s.... let us know what you find there that may be important to us.'' Leo Panitch
So See my book CRISIS:IN THE WORLD ECONOMY written 1976-78, published 1980 [366 pp] the most thorough and best book/statement then and mostly since, if I may im/modestly say so myself. Same analysis and more as Bob Brenner two decades later
also see 1986 sequel: Is the Reagan Recovery real or the Calm before the Storm? [It is/was - of 1989-1992 recession, policies & subsequent ''recovery'' ]
BOOK CHPT 2: THE NEW ECONOMIC CRISIS IN THE WEST [1967 onwards and 1978 forecast of 1979-82 recession and policy that will be adopted, entirely confirmed by subsequent events] - alas, nobody paid even the least attention
CHPT 3: THE POLITICAL ECONOMIC RESPONSE TO CRISIS IN THE WEST [subtitles] class struggle through strikes, unemployment and wages p 102 st ate austerity and delibersate unemployment policies 111 british austery policy as an example 114 austerity policy during the 1975-79 ''recovery'' 121 includes oecd and focuses on usa coordinating policies internationally remains unresolved 133 welfare farewell 137 [a very early bon mot prediction statement!] pentagon sees public shift on arms spending 141 social-democratic response 144 [all over] communist response and its aceptance 145 [eurocomunism] unions and capitalist discipling of labor 152 [their role] political/economic crisis and shift to the right 157 [all over] political repression on the increase 161 [also all over] crisis and ideological change 168
CHAPTER 4: LONG LIVE TRANSIDEOLOGICAL ENTREPRISE! THE SOCIALIST ECONOMIES IN THE CAPITALIST INTERNATIONAL DIVISION OF LABOR pp 178 - 262 [too many subtitles to bather listing here - chapter title should suffice!
