Document Summary
6: postwar settlements and beyond: britain, france, germany, italy. Case of labour exclusion, moderation of left comes later. Left becomes more moderate after ep of wide-spread labour unrest (may/june "68) Communism endures as imp poli party + commitment well into 1970s/80s. Fr, very centralised state = has consequences for both for how postwar settlement emerges + how it begins to change in late 1960s: postwar settlement = product of modernising coalition in poli. Coalition emerges post-1945, initially w/goal of avoiding instability + polarisation charac of. Modernising coalition depends on working relationship b/w state bureaucrats + business/industrial leaders (labour plays relatively insig role) State = agency/instit which sets fr off on right econ path post-1945. Fr not going to depend on mechanisms of market, depends on state-led econ growth: modernisation = state-led, commitment to national champions. State wants to create kinds of indus that compet econ growth can be built around.
