Historical Background: and overview of U.S. Economic History I. The American Industrial Revolution: Key words- Industrial capitalism Stockholding corporations Monopoly capitalism Economies of scale (cost advantages for companies due to size) 規模のの経済 American entered a period of incredible economic growth. It resulted in a total transformation of American society. In this time the modern industrial corporation, was born, which was the source of this new wealth. Also- a new labor pool- millions of poor immigrants came to the U.S. providing cheap labor
3 The two engines of economic growth: New Technology: 1. transportation and communication (the two most important engines of growth) - Electricity (based mainly on fossil fuels- coal and oil) 2. A new type of business organization: the limited liability multinational corporation - Publically traded (stockholding) - Protected by law (limited liability) - Market control (monopolies, oligopolies, cartels) II. The Jazz Age- the 1920 s. The Roaring 20 s the height of capitalism, Fordism and the growth of a middle-class, and great wealth in America (see The Great Gatsby) Key features: Fordism Consumerism Modernism (literature and art) Birth of Hollywood Women get to vote (1919) Radio III. Crash! The Great Depression ( ) Beginning- Oct. 1929, stock market crash, bank failures End- Dec. 7, 1941, attack on naval base in Pearl Harbor, Oahu leads to full employment Q: What is a depression? A: Negative GDP growth with very high unemployment
4 A new economic policy/philosophy- The New Deal: President Franklin D. Roosevelt IV America at War -full employment (ending the Great Depression) - The Bretton Woods Agreement (1944) making the US the dominant global economic power * Economic integration of global economy with America at the top. V. Post-war Prosperity Key features- - Conglomerates - Media giants and advertising - Multinational corporations Food and Beverage (General Mills, Coca-Cola) Computers (IBM, Sperry Rand) Big 3 Automakers (Ford, GM and Chrysler) Heavy industry (GE, Westinghouse) Chemicals (Dow) Aerospace (Boeing) Pharmaceuticals (J&J)
5 VI. The 1970 s- Stagnation: the end of Fordism and the Keynesian Welfare State; the end of Big Labor Unions - 2 oil shocks - The rise of Japan as major competitor VII. Return to Free Market Ideology/Economic Policy: Reaganomics Ronald Reagan ( ) Key features: deregulation privatization out-sourcing and off-shoring (the end of America s manufacturing base) tax cuts for the wealthy cuts in aid to the poor (welfare) VIII. The 1990 s: the Rise of Silicon Valley and the Dot Com Bubble Key features The digital revolution: Apple, Microsoft, Intel, Amazon, Youtube, Yahoo, Google, Napster IX terrorism and the decline of America
6 The U.S. Economy Today Today: US firms lead in technological advances, especially in computers and in medical, aerospace, and military equipment,.. but since the 1970 s, Japan and other countries have become competitors in many other areas. Modern technology helps to explain the gradual development of a "two-tier labor market" in which those at the bottom lack the education and the professional/technical skills of those at the top; Middle-class and poor people, more and more, fail to get fair pay raises, health insurance coverage, and other benefits. Since 1975, practically all the gains in household income have gone to the top 20% of households.
7 ECONOMIC CRISIS 2007~~~~ GDP contracted until the third quarter of 2009, making this the deepest and longest downturn since the Great Depression. To help stabilize financial markets, in October 2008 the US Congress established a $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). The government used some of these funds to purchase equity in US banks and industrial corporations, much of which had been returned to the government by early In 2010 and 2011, the federal budget deficit reached nearly 9% of GDP. In 2012 the federal government reduced the growth of spending and the deficit shrank to 7.6% of GDP.
8 Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan required major shifts in national resources from civilian to military purposes and contributed to the growth of the budget deficit and public debt. *US revenues from taxes and other sources are lower, as a percentage of GDP, than those of most other countries.
9 Total spending on health care - public plus private - rose from 9.0% of GDP in 1980 to 17.9% in 2010.
