Later in the 1970s, however, an important change in the attitude of Americans began to take place. Most no longer believe that this abundance would continue to expand. During this time it became increasingly clear that the days of cheap and abundant energy, which in one form or another had powered the American economy, were ing to an end. Moreover, the technology of mass production which had produced so much new wealth in recent decades now seemed to bring increasing danger in the form of air and water pollution. Most Americans experienced new shortages through the highest rates of inflation — rising prices for everything they bought — that most of them could remember. It is not surprising, therefore, that by the end of the 1970s, 62 percent of the American people agreed with the statement: “Americans should get used to the fact that our wealth is limited and most of us are not likely to bee better off than we are now.” In other words, the majority of Americans had e to the conclusion that the abundance had stopped growing. Americans had suffered economic hard times before the 1980s, most notably in the Great Depression of the 1930s. But in the past the belief that the United States was, and would continue to be, a land of plenty continued and supported an optimism about the future. What never happened in the 1980s is the acceptance by most Americans that the United Sates has finally reached its limit of material wealth and that “our current standard of living may be the highest we can hope for.” 1.
