"The 1970s are of particular relevance for understanding the socio-economic changes still shaping Western societies today. The collapse of traditional manufacturing industries like coal and steel, shipbuilding, and printing, as well as the rise of the service sector, contributed to a notable sense of decline and radical transformation.

Building on the seminal work of Lutz Raphael and Anselm Doering-Manteuffel, Nach dem Boom, which identified a ""social transformation of revolutionary quality"" that ushered in ""digital financial capitalism,"" this volume features a series of essays that reconsider the idea of a structural break in the 1970s. Contributors draw on case studies from France, the Netherlands, the UK, the US, and Germany to examine the validity of the ""after the boom"" hypothesis. Since the Boom attempts to bridge the gap between the English and highly productive German debates on the 1970s."

Reviews for Since the Boom: Continuity and Change in the Western Industrialized World after 1970

In this interesting contribution to the ongoing debates on economic change in and since the 1970s, Sebastian Voigt presents cutting-edge research by both young and established scholars in the field. The individual papers are excellently researched and show innovative and highly thought-provoking takes on the well-established narrative of the 1970s as a decade of economic crisis, industrial decline, and ideological change from Keynesianism to neoliberalism. The great strength of this volume is its wide scope of countries covered besides Germany, including the United States, Britain, France, and the Netherlands. This represents a much-needed extension of the debate that can serve as a bridge and make it easier to teach graduate courses on contemporary German history and politics in English-speaking countries. - Joerg Neuheiser, DAAD Visiting Associate Professor in the Department of History, UC San Diego
