Abstract

The Second World War provided the framework within which the social institutions of Keynesianism were shaped, together with state planning. This period also witnessed the development of working-class autonomy vis-à-vis the union (this development continued the wave of wild cat strikes of the late 1930s);1 the legitimization of unions by the state aimed at an active use of their apparatus for the control of working-class autonomy; the implementation of systematic growth strategies for the satisfaction of war needs; and the development of economics as discipline for macroeconomic planning together with the strengthening of its empirical counterpart via the development of national accounting techniques and statistical methods. In this chapter, I explore these developments.
