Markets

The broad category of “Markets” includes finance, economics, businesses started, and products produced. Market developments in the 1960s spin out in relation to the financial architecture erected at the end of World War II, and the overwhelming dominance of American manufacturing and finance among industrialized nations in a prostrate world. The 1960s saw the dazzling recovery of Japan and Western Europe, a huge rally in American equities, and the fastest growth rates in the United States for any single decade of the 20th-century amidst government spending, top-to-bottom tax cuts, and industrial innovations still felt by peoples around the world.
