Includes bibliographical references and index.
In 'An Extraordinary Time', Marc Levinson investigates how the oil crisis of the 1970s marked a radical turning point in global economics and paved the way for the political and financial troubles of the present. Tracing the remarkable transformation of the global economy in the years after World War II, Levinson explores how decades of spectacular economic growth ended almost overnight - giving way to an era of uncertainty and political extremism that we are still grappling with.
