Many remember the 1970s as a decade of soaring inflation, political upheaval, and the erosion of the United States’ prestige worldwide. But the significance of the seventies goes beyond high gas prices, Watergate, and Vietnam – profound changes to American politics, societal norms, and the nation’s economy took root.
