What Botched 73 Boom
Sylvia Porter argues the 1973 rise in living costs was driven by seven failures in U S policy and global factors. She cites White House missteps on food production, misjudged foreign sales, weather shocks, dollar devaluations, inflationary spending, delayed anti inflationary policy, and energy shocks as causing the worst boom to fade into a lengthy inflationary downturn. The piece notes the 1974 outlook remains troubled amid an energy crisis and slowed economy.
