20.5. The Oil Economy
from American Capitalism: A History
We take a look at some of the postwar economic changes, beginning with a civil rights revolution that used consumption as the opening wedge in an effort to end white supremacy. We then consider a revolution in transportation and how the United States ill-fated war in Vietnam helped insure its success. Then we will consider the increasingly globalized nature of the economy.
