Abstract
This paper discusses how the post-industrial era is not merely a buzzword that conjures up images of skyscrapers, office cubicles and white-collar employees living the life. However, the sociological ramifications reach beyond these superficial images. This paper tries to understand the evolution and origins of the post-industrial era and delve into the effects of this type of economy on the constituents of this work force, their lifestyle and the surrounding community.
From the Paper
"Over the centuries, man has continually developed collectively. The first small communities as nomadic foragers and hunters were primarily concerned with survival. These communes essentially lived day to day and sought protection in numbers not from other communes, but from inherent dangers in nature such as predators. Their numbers also meant more success in hunting."

Abstract
This paper mainly discusses the post-industrial society and the transition process from industrial to post-industrial society. By using the articles and the ideas of Castells, Bell, Negri and Hardt, the writer explains how the post-industrial society has emerged, and predicts the shape of post-industrial society in future. The writer also tries to construct his own point of view about the post-industrial society and explains the reason why he calls post-industrial society a digital society.
From the Paper
"Post-industrial society is a conception of late 20th century, which simply emphasizes the declining dependence of the societies on mass manufacturing industry and the increasing roles of service sector, knowledge and information technologies in production. By contrast the industrial society, which precedes post-industrial society, refers to the mass production (factory-based) as the dominant form of production. I think the best definition regarding post-industrial era has come from Daniel Bell, who is also considered as the father of post-industrial society. He suggests that post industrial society includes the birth and growth of a knowledge class, change from goods to service sectors and change from blue-collar to white-collar occupations. For him, all of these could be based on an increasing dependence on science as a means of innovation as well as a means of technical and social change."

Towards Post-Industrial Capitalism, 1998.
A critique of the concept of post-industrialism and technological determinism.

Abstract
This paper examines how the concept of a post-industrial society rests on the assumption that social development is essentially driven by technological change. It draws parallels with the Marxist scenario of social change which ushers in a period of social revolution and a growing class struggle. It also explores how there are significant differences between this and the theoretical model espoused by the exponents of post-industrialism.]

Technological Determinism
Lean Production
Bibliography
From the Paper
"Robert L. Heilbroner in his Business Civilisation in Decline defined its core features as: the growing predominance of the tertiary (services) sector over the primary (agriculture and mining) and secondary (manufacturing) sectors of the economy; increasing emphasis on the role of knowledge-based inputs and education; and, finally, a decrease in the highly polarised class conflict of traditional (industrial) capitalism with the emergence of less hierarchical organisational structures more suited to the socio-economic environment of the late 20th century."

Organizational Theories And Structure In Post-Industrial Era, 2002.
Discussion of the origins and contributions of the postmodern or post-industrial organizational theories.

Abstract
Organization theory and structure have gained tremendous attention in the past two decades as world changes forced management gurus to find out what kind of organizational structure was required to extract maximum productivity. Social, political and cultural changes have contributed towards formulation of better organizational theories. While each theory claimed to possess a new meaning, they were all based on similar ideas and thus twenty years hence, they would all come to be labeled as postmodern or post-industrial organizational theories. These theories have helped in identifying the factors, which are leading to change, in organizations.

Abstract
This paper discusses Daniel Bell's belief that our society is in many ways most accurately defined as a post-industrialist one. The author investigates Bell's beliefs and gives reasons why they are and are not convincing. This essay trieds to understand the way in which our society is structured in terms of its having developed from a traditionally industrialised society.
From the Paper
"Daniel Bell, a post-Marxist sociologist who is probably best known for his 1976 treatise The Coming of the Post-Industrial Society (which was reissued in 1999 with a new preface by the author in which he comments on the ways in which his work has held up to the changes in society that occurred during the intervening generation) believes that our society is in many ways most accurately defined as a post-industrialist one. That is, we can best understand the economic underpinnings of our lives (as well as the political and social structures of our lives) if we seek to understand the way in which our society is structured in terms of its having developed from a traditionally industrialised society."

Abstract
This paper presents an overview of Italian economic history, post World War II. It looks at the GDP per capita increase, the complex melding of private and public sectors and the liberalization of the Italian economy.
From the Paper
"WWII has been a complex melding together of the public and private sectors. The phenomenal growth of the Italian economy post WWII is indisputable and was based on a variety of factors. Starting from the centralized economy inherited from the repressive regime of Benito Mussolini, two generations of Italians have shepherded their economy into the global market and the European Union EU. The private sector has benefited greatly from the liberalization of the Italian economy but the country continues to maintain ..."

Abstract
This paper examines how the post-World War II era was definitely a prosperous time, and the economy grew very strong because of many variables. It looks at how the purchasing frenzy, return of veterans, and general confidence of Americans created a strong economy after World War II. It also discusses how, because of this spurt of economic growth and the economic devastation of the rest of the world, America became the superpower in the world.
From the Paper
"Americans emerged from World War II thrilled, proud of their military strength and industrial might. As the editors of Fortune magazine said in 1946, "This is a dream era, this is what everyone was waiting throughout the blackouts for. The Great American Boom is on." Therefore, it was and an American public that had known deprivation and sacrifice for the last decade and a half began to enjoy record prosperity. The postwar era enjoyed wonderful economic growth and social satisfaction. The nation's gross national product rose from about $200,000 million in 1940 to $300,000 million in 1950 and to more than $500,000 million in 1960 (Tindall, 1049). At the same time, the jump in postwar births, known as the "baby boom," increased the number of consumers. More and more Americans joined the middle class."

The Airline Industry Post Deregulation, 2006.
A look at the airline industry after it was deregulated as well as an argument in favor of a mild form of regulation.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the airline industry within the US from the perspective of post deregulation. The reasons underlying the shift to a deregulated environment are examined in detail as are the competitive forces of supply and demand as they relate to price elasticity. Finally, the overall economic model governing the industry post-deregulation is discussed and is followed by several conclusions and a recommendation supporting some form of mild regulation of the industry.
From the Paper
"The airline industry has long been a dynamic and vibrant industry and one that has proved problematic to quantify in real terms from an economic perspective. The airline industry was deregulated in the United States (US) officially in 1978 with passage of the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978 passed by the US Congress (Dilger, 2003, p.46). The reasons for deregulation were varied but they primarily revolved around economic issues. While the airline industry might not have been a true monopoly in that there were a variety of industry competitors, it tended to behave monopolistically in the sense that it, in effect, was an oligopoly."

Post-WWII Economies Compared, 2005.
A comparison/contrast of the best and worst postwar economies (United States and Albania).

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
World War II proved to be a turning point in the world's economies. While most of the world had suffered from a devastating depression in the late 1920's and 1930's, World War II proved such an impetus as to pull the world out of the soup lines and on to the battlefields. The paper shows that after the war, the United States did not need to make the long, painful adjustment from rations to recovery; this nation actually flourished during the war and with virtually no damage to the country's infrastructure, was in an ideal position to become the world's most successful post-war economy. The paper shows that, in contrast, the Soviet domination and forced Stalinist collectivization of Warsaw Pact countries created an atmosphere of stagnation and repression, the most horrifying example being Albania. This paper compares the best and worst postwar economies, those of the United States and Albania.
From the Paper
"While the United States was clearly the best example of a booming postwar economy, having achieved unparalleled economic success which has led to the nation's current dominance as the sole superpower and largest economic power, the worst postwar economic development was perhaps suffered by Albania. During the course of World War II, the small Balkan nation had transformed from a fascist Italian possession on the other side of the Adriatic Sea to a government championing Communist ideals."

Exchange Rates and Western Economies in the Post War Era, 2002.
A histiry and analysis of exchange rates in the post war era from the fixed rates established at Bretton Woods to the flexible rates of today.

Abstract
This essay will argue the reality of exchange rates in the modern world is much more complex than popular wisdom would suggest. Through a discussion of the history of exchange rates in the postwar era - from the fixed rates established at Bretton Woods to the flexible rates of today - it will be seen that exchange rates are one of the most complex features of modern economics. As the Canadian experience demonstrates, control of the exchange rates is beyond the power of governments to significantly influence in the long term. Indeed, given the complexities of the relationship between exchange rates and market forces, exchange rates are a feature of modern economics that defy easy analysis and prediction.

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts key economic factors and trends of the 1930s in Britain and Germany. The key issues discussed include a brief timeline of general economic trends in the two countries and end with a comparison of facts for each country in the pre-WWII years important to this work.
From the Paper
"In fact one of the most interesting facts associated with this comparison is the rapid growth of Germany both after WWI and during WWII. The expansion can be attributed to the decisive and calculated economic recovery plan of the Nazi regime. Yet, regardless of its source, now quickly associated with the evil of the many other Nazi decisions, the expansion occurred rapidly and effectively through out the 1930s and following to the end of WWII."

The Post World War I World Economy & The Plunge Into The Great Depression, 1987.

From the Paper
" With the end of World War I, international efforts were begun to restore the workings of the international economy and the gold standard. But the restoration of the gold standard also meant the re-establishment of the old political order. Britain, however, lacked the economic power to fulfill the role she had played in the prewar system and the United States, her major economic rival after the defeat of Germany, was not prepared to fill the vacuum. This analysis will maintain that Britain's economic weakness and the inability of the United States to use its economic power to bolster the international economy were key sources of the structural weakness of the interwar gold standard. This general factor, combined with the financial complications of (...)"

Abstract
This paper discusses the aggregate demand and supply situation in the United States after the September 11 attacks. The paper explains that the economy is currently undergoing recession, which is not the result of terrorist attacks alone, but the tragedy has certainly hastened the process.
From the Paper
"It is generally believed by the experts that with the fund rate going down significantly, the economy will bounce back from its state of recession in the coming months. But people are not certain if the increase in economic activity will actually have an impact in the GDP and the general market condition as the unemployment rate is continuously rising. The profits margins of corporations in the Unite States have shrunk significantly which is the primary reason why so many workers have been laid off."

Abstract
This paper studies how the terror attacks on September 11th affected the U.S. economy and the response of its fiscal policy. The author examines several contributing factors: (1) U.S. monetary policy; (2) fiscal policy; (3) supply side theory/policy; (4) inflation; (5) unemployment and (6) business cycles. In each of these areas, the paper demonstrates how monetary and fiscal policy worked together to provide ample and rapid stimulus during the economic downturn. The paper also contends that the impact of 9/11 on overall aggregate demand was mitigated somewhat by the increase in government spending aimed at bolstering homeland security and fighting the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

From the Paper
"After 9/11, the Fed injected liquidity into the Federal Reserve System as a stabilizing measure. As evidence, one need only look at the statistics released by the Fed at or around 9/11. Every Thursday, The Fed releases a spread sheet to the public that describes factors affecting balance reserves. On September 5, 2001, the face amount of marketable U.S. government and federal agency securities held in custody by the Federal Reserve Banks for foreign official and international accounts was $719,895 million, a change of $ +3,191 million for the week. On September 12, 2001, the face amount of marketable U.S. government and federal agency securities held in custody by the Federal Reserve Banks for foreign official and international accounts was $ 721,991 million, a change of $ +2,096 million for the week. On September 19, 2001, the face amount of marketable U.S. government and federal agency securities held in custody by the Federal Reserve Banks for foreign official and international accounts was $727,796 million, a change of $ +5,913 million for the week. As demonstrated, the Fed injected an additional $7,901 million in securities into the system to cope with the looming threat of recession caused by 9/11."

"The Post-Unification German Economy
Introduction: The Fall of the Wall
The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 was the single event that most dramatically underlined the sea change from the Cold War era in Europe to a post-Cold War era. The fall of the Wall was followed almost immediately by the total collapse of the East German state, which until 1989 had appeared to be both the most repressive and the strongest of the Soviet-bloc states in Eastern Europe. With breathtaking suddenness -- in the space of a year-- came the full and formal reunification of the divided Germanies, a process that it had been presumed even in 1989 would take several years at least.
In the long run, reunification could only benefit the German economy..."

America's Post World War II Economy, 2002.
An examination of the phenomenal economic growth experienced by the United States in the two decades after the end of World War II.
995 words (approx. 4.0 pages), 5 sources, MLA, AU$ 51.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper shows that the huge amounts of government spending and the ensuing deficit created by the needs of a two-front military effort, as well as supplying on-going domestic consumption, spurred real production in post World War II America and created sudden economic prosperity, ending the depression. The paper explores the reasons behind the growth of the Gross National Product, the increase in industry and the shift in habits of the workforce. The paper also shows how the development of technology in the 1960s contributed to this economic growth.
From the Paper
"The role of status began to play a role, as it was increasingly felt that white-collar jobs were more socially ?upscale? than traditional blue collar, or manufacturing jobs. Factory work with lower class or ?working class? connotations became less attractive to many people than the corporate environment. (Smithsonian Institution website). The postwar baby boom caused an increase in population leading to the migration of families to the suburbs; as the suburbs grew, business moved into new areas. Shopping centers grew and expanded, changing retail distribution to match changing consumer patters and growing discretionary income. Distribution and expansion were facilitated by the highways providing better access to new communities; the Highway Act of 1956 provided $26 billion USD to build highways to link all parts of the country. (State Department.)"
