Compared to the much-debated 1973 `oil shock', the `countershock' has not received the same degree of attention, even though its legacy has shaped the present-day energy scenario. This volume is the first to put the oil `counter-shock' of the mid-1980s into historical perspective. Featuring some of the most knowledgeable experts in the field, Counter-Shock offers a balanced approach between the global\u003cbr\u003epicture and local study cases. In particular, it highlights the crucial interaction between the oil counter-shock and the political `counterrevolution' against state intervention in economic management, put forward by Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher in the same period.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47509030764702,"sku":"UBD-9781838605827","price":71.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781838605827.jpg?v=1780639909","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781838605827","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
