Everyone sees the wrong things in the postwar boom


It wasn't a triumph of American Exceptionalism. It wasn't validation of any particular tax plan, corporate ethos, or cultural morality.

It was that we were literally the only developed industrial nation of any size that wasn't burned to the ground by the war. Shit, we were operating above normal peak output because of the war effort. It would have taken a staggering number of bad decisions to screw up the inevitable boom that followed. Our economic success was assured for 20-30 years regardless of what we did.
