SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Until the 1960s, scarcity and the struggle to clothe, feed and employ the nation drove most of US political life. But with the explosion of the nation's economy in the years after World War 2, a new set of needs began to emerge. Using Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs, this book offers a reinterpretation of the latter half of the 20th century.
