"Incipient European rejection of American normalism in the 1960s clearly had to do with war Vietnam and the domestic upheavals in the USA that accompanied it, which cast growing doubt on the promise of American convergence theorists of a world forever pacified by economic growth, Keynesian demand management and the 'logic of industrialism'.
