The global economy from 1945 to 1973 grew at an astounding rate even though many of the countries had been badly affected after World War II (WII) in 1945. Many factors have resulted in the explosive growth‚ and the role of the Americans is one of them. The Bretton Woods System and multi-national companies (MNCs) have also contributed to the growth.
