Abstract: Abstract The 1970’s could well be described as the decade of anxiety. The action of the OPEC countries in quadrupling the price of oil in 1973 signalled the beginning of an era of profound economic uncertainty for the advanced industrial nations of the world; and the decade closed with 52 American citizens held hostage in the United States embassy in Teheran and more than 50,000 Soviet troops deployed in Afghanistan in support of a puppet regime. Politically and economically, the decade of anxiety could be the precursor of the decade of despair.
