While many have seen the 1970s as simply a period of failures epitomized by Watergate, inflation, the oil crisis, global unrest, and disillusionment with military efforts in Vietnam, Thomas Borstelmann creates a new framework for understanding the period and its legacy. He demonstrates how the 1970s increased social inclusiveness and, at the same time, encouraged commitments to the free market and wariness of government. As a result, American culture and much of the rest of the world became more--and less--equal. 651 0 $a United States $x History $y 1969- 651 0 $a United States $x Social conditions $y 1960-1980. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 1969-1974. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 1974-1977. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 1977-1981. 651 0 $a United States $x Economic conditions $y 1971-1981. 651 0 $a United States $x Foreign relations $y 1945-1989. 651 0 $a United States $x History $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Equality $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Nineteen seventies. 830 0 $a America in the world. 856 $u http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&doc_number=024536809&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA $z Inhaltsverzeichnis 941 $a 4 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006062048.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20161202021422.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20130125012641.0 952 $l PWAX296 $d 20121114142304.0 $m 973.92 B738n 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BED4DC34515911E1900500AE6AFF544EInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
