I should make a sentence including these factors.

0<World capitalism has undergone a considerable change since the long boom from the 1950's to the early 1970's following the second world war drew to a close. >02br
02br
00This is the sentence that I made. 02br
02br
00By the way, I want to make it more decent, especially the 'since' clause.02br
02br
00'since the long boom from the 1950's to the early 1970's following the second worldwar drew to a close' 02br
02br
00--> Is it understandable?02br
02br
00how about 'since the long boom from the 1950's to the early 1970's , following the second world war, drew to a close'???02br
02br
00or what else!0-

00Remove either 'from ....1970s' or 'following ...war' those time phrases identify the same period.02br
02br
00A question for you...do you want to stress a single large change or many changes? 'a considerable change' or 'considerable changes'?0-

00>Considerable changes have occurred since the end of the post-war boom in the early 1970s. 02br
02br
00 How about using "of" instead of "in?" The sentence would seem to me a bit more clear, as otherwise "in the early 1970s" could be mistakenly related to "have occurred." 0-
