Explore the profound social history of Western Europe after the industrial boom in “Beyond Coal and Steel.” This compelling book by Lutz Raphael delves into the dramatic transformation of the 1970s, as old industries collapsed, leading to widespread job losses and urban decline. Discover how millions of industrial citizens navigated these turbulent decades, facing changes in their careers, homes, and social rights. “Beyond Coal and Steel” examines the impact of globalization, new technologies, and dominant financial capital on workers’ lives, both men and women, across Britain, France, and West Germany. Uncover the complex legacy of deindustrialization, marked by increased productivity and consumerism alongside growing inequality and a crisis in democratic representation, a transformation that continues to shape our modern world.
