This book was written only because I wanted to write a quite different one. My intention was to write a history of the greatest economic boom in European history, of that unique, ugly and triumphant experience of the 1950s and 1960s which changed so utterly the scope of human existence and expectations as well as the consciousness of the people of western Europe. But as soon as I really began it became clear that this extraordinary boom had one other attribute as unique as the remarkable length of time over which the growth of output, incomes and wealth lasted. No one knew when or why it had started, and I soon discovered that neither did I. It was in fact not only one of the most unexpected events in western Europe’s history, but remains one of the most unexplained.
