A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Foreword The attempt in this book has been to gauge the predominant economic and political trends in the United States since the end of the First World War. We make no claim of recording the inexhaustible details of the period. The problem has been to sift a colossal body of evidence which in our estimation proves that capitalism, as it emerged after 1919, was moribund. The political patterns of this declining economic system in turn influenced the course of American economic life. And it is with the broadest strokes that we have pictured the peoples struggles against monopoly and hunger, and for a freer and more abundant life of the conscious and unconscious drive toward socialism. The omission, so apparent in this book, is the failure to discuss the cultural phases of the post-war years. In that sense, the story is admittedly incomplete. Rather than merely compile a list of events to indicate the growth or decline of the technology, the literature, and the art of the last two decades, we have omitted these subjects entirely. We are nevertheless aware of their role and that their roots sink deep into the soil of contemporary economics and politics. For the most generous aid, we are indebted to Alex Bittleman and William Z. Foster; to Dr. Samuel Sillen, Ruth Mc Kenney, Robert Dunn and the staff of Labor Research A ssociation, we are grateful for many courtesies. Needless to say, they are not responsible for errors in fact or judgment, or for the point of view expressed.
