So after a global war destroyed every other country, the only place whose industry and infrastructure wasn’t in ruins, whose cities were intact, whose population wasn’t murdered by bombing, some of those people did pretty well.
US of A is about 4% of the world. And I’m pretty sure not everyone in US wasn’t equally well off.
I know this is a troll account, but for the sake of other users reading this thread; capitalism is an inherently arc shaped economy. It does tend work at first, but it’s inherently unsustainable.
Similar to the idea that if you smoke meth, you will get high, but you won’t stay high. Staying high requires more meth, more destruction of your body each time.
Another inherent trait of capitalism is that it thrives on and essentially requires some group to be exploited so another can profit. It’s an asymmetrical system by design.
Works for who though?
Common people.
That’s the reason why in the '50’s people could work at a gas station and still afford a house and family.
That was a “common” experience of a small percentage of people. The rest of the world was heavily exploited.
Things were pretty good here in the states.
Not if you weren’t white.

Do not forget that stuff also worked out in the past because literally every capitalist country exploited the global south.
Yeah this shouldn’t be overlooked.
