Disruption

In Disruption, Michael De Groot explores how the economic upheavals of the 1970s played a crucial role in ending the Cold War, highlighting shifts in global capitalism, international monetary chaos, and the changing dynamics between superpowers and their allies. The book details how economic imbalances and new financial architectures allowed the West to sustain its Cold War efforts, while the Soviet Union faced increasing burdens from its debt-ridden Eastern European allies. Published by Cornell University Press and narrated by University Press Audiobooks, this work offers a compelling analysis of globalization’s transformative impact on the final chapter of the Cold War.
