A chapter in The New Economic Nationalism, 1980, pp 1-8 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract One of the consequences of the profound changes that have occurred in the international economy since the late 1960s has been a gradual revival of economic nationalism throughout the world. The ultimate disintegration of the post-war international monetary system has led almost inexorably to a widening rift between strong and weak currency countries, between inflationary and non-inflationary economies and between the rich and the poor both in the developed and in the less developed world. The slowdown in economic activity and the persistent high level of unemployment throughout the OECD countries have added to protectionist pressures for the sake of individual industries and sectors as well as for balance of payments reasons.
