五十年代和六十年代曾经是美国经济的“繁荣”时期。这20年美国生产发展迅速,物价基本稳定,国际经济地位相当强大。1965年生产发展达到了顶峰,随之就转趋缓慢。经过1969—1970年的经济危机,形势发生了显著变化:经济危机、通货膨胀危机、能源危机、美元危机交织发展,相互影响,日益严重。国际经济地位也每况愈下,整个经济因“滞胀”而出现 The fifties and sixties were once the “boom” period for the U.S. economy. In the past 20 years, the United States has witnessed rapid development of its production and its prices have basically remained stable. Its international economic status is quite strong. In 1965, the production reached its peak, with the consequent slowdown. After the economic crisis of 1969-1970, the situation changed dramatically: the economic crisis, the inflation crisis, the energy crisis and the crisis of the U.S. dollar were intertwined with each other and became increasingly serious. The international economic status is also deteriorating. The entire economy has emerged due to “stagflation.”
