[143] [144] Since the early 1970s we have been living in a new era, whose uncertain prospects Freedman recognizes. He may regard them with less worry than I do, but we both stand too close to the present for historical judgment. Yet while I will not die in the last ditch for my name for this, still unconcluded, period ("The Landslide"), few economic historians will doubt that we have Passed a major turning-point in world history. (By the way, few of them would agree with Freedman that the late 1940s and the early 1970s do not mark "obvious punctuation points") Compared to that "Golden Age" the post-l973 years have been an era of uncertainties, instabilities and difficulties for capitalism, some new, some - like the revival of serious economic crises and permanent mass unemployment in Europe- once familiar. My argument was not that the global economic system is "rolling steadily downhill" - indeed I specifically predict another great leap forward (pp. 570-71), but that it is no longer possible to believe, as it was in the heyday of the "Golden Age" that a way had been found to solve, or at least to minimize, the economic, social and political problems which had convulsed capitalist society in its "Age of Catastrophe".
