Abstract
In Western countries the post-war years were dominated by economic growth, social conservatism and political stability. These characteristics emerged from societies that had maintained their faith in centralized government control following the end of the war and had accepted the application of that control to peacetime social and economic reconstruction. Observers have noted the legacy of a ‘consensus of value’ that had been developed during the war years and the impact of this on popular support for government authority and the rise of bureaucratic control over many aspects of national life (Broady, 1968). Power in post war society maintained its centrality and appeared to deliver the sort of society and certainty that a war weary generation craved.
