In tracing the recovery of the economy in the late 'forties, and its uninterrupted expansion throughout the 'fifties and 'sixties, he considers its contributory causes one by one. Features such as the movement of population, full employment, investment, technological progress, expanding foreign trade, and new attitudes of business leaders are analysed and placed in their relative order of importance." -- From the back cover.
