The economic boom the US experienced in the 1950s and 1960s was the result of:
Pro-worker economic policies enacted during the great depression that were kept in place through WWII and remained in place until they started getting killed off in the 1970s and were fully killed off in the 1980s by Reagan.
The top tax bracket being set at 90%.
The US being one of the only countries that didn’t have its infrastructure absolutely trashed during WWII.
Even if the US went back to pro-worker, anti-oligarch policies, we’re unlikely to see another golden age unless there’s another world war that doesn’t damage the US. When people talk about their grandfather supporting 4 kids as a plumber, that was wonderful, but it was never the norm.
I wish I could upvote this more than once.
