El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

3. Objectives
•
Describe how the United States made the
transformation to a peacetime economy.
•
Discuss the accomplishments of Presidents
Harry Truman and Dwight Eisenhower.
•
Analyze the 1950s economic boom.
4. Terms and People
• demobilization – sending home members
of the army
• GI Bill of Rights – eased the return of
World War II veterans by providing
education and employment aid
• baby boom – increase in births between
1945 and 1964
5. Terms and People
(continued)
• productivity – the rate at which goods are
produced or services performed
• Taft-Hartley Act – a law that restricted the
power of labor unions; outlawed the closed
shop, a workplace in which only union
members can be hired
• Fair Deal – President Truman’s program to
expand New Deal reforms
6. How did the nation experience recovery and economic
prosperity after World War II?
The GI Bill of Rights and a strong demand for consumer
goods – coupled with defense spending on the Korean
War and increased foreign demand for U.S. goods –
greatly improved the U.S. economy after World War II.
The U.S became the richest country in the world.
7. After World War II, many citizens and
economists feared the country would
fall into a widespread depression.
• Truman started demobilization, and
millions of soldiers came home and
searched for work.
• Contracts to produce military goods were
cancelled and millions of defense workers
lost their jobs.
• An end to rationing and price controls –
plus a demand for goods – fueled
inflation.
8. The post-war U.S. did not experience
unemployment or a renewed depression,
but it did have serious economic problems.
The most
painful was
skyrocketing
prices
Prices rose about
18 percent in
1946, and the
prices of some
products doubled.
There was severe
inflation
9. To help veterans, the federal government
enacted the GI Bill of Rights.
Benefit
Results
• The bill provided one year
of unemployment pay for
veterans unable to find
work.
• The pay helped veterans
support themselves and
their families.
• The bill provided
financial aid to attend
college.
• Eight million veterans
entered or returned to
college.
• The bill entitled
veterans to loans for
buying homes and
starting businesses.
• There was an upsurge in
home construction, which
led to explosive growth in
suburban areas.
10. With the Great Depression and the war
behind them, many returning soldiers
got married and started families.
11. • The result was a
postwar baby
boom.
• Between 1940 and
1955, the U.S.
population
experienced its
greatest increase,
growing 27
percent from
about 130 to
about 165 million.
12. When wartime
restrictions
ended, demand
for consumer
goods soared.
Businesses
employed more
people to produce
goods.
This created a cycle in
which people bought
new goods, leading
business to hire more
workers, who in turn
bought more goods.
The postwar years ushered in a period of domestic
prosperity that lasted nearly 20 years.
The U.S. became the richest country in the world.
13. During the postwar period, the U.S. economy
also benefitted from technological advances,
such as atomic power, computers, and plastics.
Worker
productivity
continued to
improve,
largely because
of new
technology.
The economy also
got a boost from
federal defense
spending for the
Korean War and
from foreign
demand for U.S.
goods caused by the
Marshall Plan.
15. Despite the economic growth, the U.S.
faced challenges during after World
War II. President Harry Truman faced
the following issues.
• The Cold War was beginning and there were
communist takeovers in Europe and Asia.
• The U.S. faced inflation and labor unrest at
home.
16. Trade
unionists
demanded
pay increases
to keep up
with
inflation.
Employers
refused to
meet labor’s
demands.
Millions of steel, coal, railroad, and automotive
workers went on strike, prompting Congress to
enact the Taft-Hartley Act over Truman’s veto.
17. Truman also established a special committee on
civil rights to investigate race relations.
The committee
made several
recommendations
for reforms, but
Congress rejected
them all.
Truman
desegregated the
military, which did
not need
Congressional
approval.
18. By spring 1948, Truman’s standing had sunk so low
that few thought he could win election that fall.
However, Truman
managed the
political upset of the
century, beating
three other
candidates, two of
them from new
political parties.
19. Shortly after the election, Truman
announced a far-ranging legislative
program he called the Fair Deal.
• The Fair Deal was meant to strengthen
existing New Deal reforms and establish
new programs, such as national health
insurance.
• But Congress rejected most of Truman’s Fair
Deal proposals.
20. Legislative failure and a stalled war in Korea
contributed to Truman’s loss of popularity, and
he did not seek reelection in 1952.
Popular, charming
Republican
candidate Dwight D.
Eisenhower won the
presidency that year,
beating Democrat
Adlai Stevenson.
The public believed
that Eisenhower
would walk the line
between liberal and
conservative
political positions,
and he did not
disappoint.
21. Eisenhower created
an interstate highway
system and spent
more money on
education.
The strong U.S economy went a long way toward making his
presidency one of the most prosperous, peaceful, and politically
tranquil in the 20th century.
