Why wasn't there more protest, as there was in other countries? During the United States' last great era of free-market policies, before World War II, economic crises were always accompanied by unrest. "The history of capitalism," the economist Joseph Schumpeter warned in 1942, "is studded with violent bursts and catastrophes." In The End of Protest, Alasdair Roberts explains how, in the modern age, governments learned to unleash market forces while also avoiding protest about the market's failures.Roberts argues that in the last three decades, the two countries that led the free-market revolution-the United States and Britain-have invented new strategies for dealing with unrest over free market policies. The organizing capacity of unions has been undermined so that it is harder to mobilize discontent. The mobilizing potential of new information technologies has also been checked. Police forces are bigger and better equipped than ever before. And technocrats in central banks have been given unprecedented power to avoid full-scale economic calamities. Tracing the histories of economic unrest in the United States and Great Britain from the nineteenth century to the present, The End of Protest shows that governments have always been preoccupied with the task of controlling dissent over free market policies. But today's methods pose a new threat to democratic values. For the moment, advocates of free-market capitalism have found ways of controlling discontent, but the continued effectiveness of these strategies is by no means certain. 606 $aSocial control$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aSocial control$zGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aCapitalism$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aProtest movements$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aCapitalism$zGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aFree enterprise$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aFree enterprise$xSocial aspects$zGreat Britain 606 $aDemocracy$xEconomic aspects$zUnited States 606 $aDemocracy$xEconomic aspects$zGreat Britain 606 $aProtest movements$zGreat Britain$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSocial control$xHistory. 615 0$aSocial control$xHistory. 615 0$aCapitalism$xHistory. 615 0$aProtest movements$xHistory. 615 0$aCapitalism$xHistory. 615 0$aFree enterprise$xSocial aspects 615 0$aFree enterprise$xSocial aspects 615 0$aDemocracy$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aDemocracy$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aProtest movements$xHistory. 676 $a303.3/30973 700 $aRoberts$b Alasdair$g(Alasdair Scott),$0905375 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910466456503321 996 $aThe end of protest$92467203 997 $aUNINA
