Lessons from World War II Price Control
Struggles in the United States |
| Martin Hart-Landsberg |
ABSTRACT: Holding down prices was one of the U. S. government's important economic achievements during World War II. A major reason for its success was that the Office of Price Administration "deputized" tens of thousands of volunteers to administer and ensure compliance with its system of price control. In this paper I analyze the class forces and struggles that shaped the government's recruitment and use of volunteers, the business offensive that ended their use, and the negative postwar consequences of that defeat for working people. I conclude by discussing the relevance of this volunteer experience for activists involved in contemporary struggles for social transformation.

| The Kinoy Paper and the Passing of
1960s Radicalism |
| Brian Lloyd |
ABSTRACT: In the summer of 1973, a group of prominent activists met in New York City to discuss a proposal for a new, left-wing political party, written by radical attorney Arthur Kinoy. A failure on its own terms and a non-event to historians of the period, the Kinoy initiative nonetheless helps mark an important turn, taken by activists and scholars in the early 1970s, from an internationalist to a nationalist outlook. By placing that shift at the center of our attention, we gain fresh insight into the demise of 1960s radicalism and new incentives to abandon the "old left/new left" distinction that most historians have used to make sense of the decade.
