In this ambitious and original work, Isser Woloch assesses the progressive agendas that crystallized in each of the allied democracies: their roots in the interwar decades, their development during wartime, the struggles to enact them in the early postwar years, and the mixed outcomes in each country.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Postwar Moment\u003c\/i\u003e examines three progressive postwar manifestos that reveal a common agenda in the three nations. The issues at stake included priorities for reconstruction or reconversion; “full employment” via economic planning; price controls; the roles of trade unions; expansion of social security; national health care; public housing; and educational reform. A highly regarded scholar of European history, Woloch persuasively adds the United States to a discussion that is usually focused solely on Europe.","brand":"Yale University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54219774624088,"sku":"9780300124354","price":41.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780300124354_d20dd129-40c2-4d93-ab72-5451ad3ff159.jpg?v=1770957908","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/postwar-moment","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
