Abstract
Emerging from World War II, the USA actively sought the consolidation of its banking, industrial, and commercial sectors, creating a political economy of advancing monopoly capitalism. This chapter traces the impact of this process of nation-building and development of capitalism on the USA’s increased independence from Europe, and the creation of a new crucial agenda of labor pacification and a US foreign policy of market expansion.
