Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The author examines the relationship between the emergence of the New Right and the development of a global marketplace after World War II. Focusing on the political organization and neo-conservative ideologies of the New Right, Marchak scrutinizes the connections between technological change, the debt and environmental crises, mounting Islamic fundamentalism, the end of the Cold War, the rise of the Japanese and other Asian-Pacific economies and the decline in American hegemony. When Pax Americana began to disintegrate in the late 1960s, economic leaders of corporate America joined with their counterparts in Western Europe and Japan to develop a self-interested strategy for dealing with the political and social impacts of a changing global economy. As Marchak shows, their political agenda - the dismantling of the welfare state - was supported by corporate-funded think tanks which influenced public policy and by media campaigns which swayed public opinion. The New Right promoted the resurgence of laissez-faire political and economic ideas which Marchak traces back to the theories of Adam Smith.Marchak describes the changes such strategies created in the world economy and examines their effects on the USA and Canada, Western and Eastern Europe, Japan, the newly industrialized nations and the increasingly impoverished Third World countries. In a study that includes chapters on the silicon revolution, Japanese expansion, the automobile industry, special export zones, the debt crisis, environmental issues and international organizations, Marchak has written a history of modern times organized around the unifying theme of the New Right. Focusing on the conservative ideologies and political organization of the New Right, this study explores its impact on the development of a global marketplace after World War II. It examines the changes such political strategies created in the world economy, and the effect on individual countries.
