The
economy
of
the
United
states
after
1952
was
the
econnomy of a well-fed,almost fully employed people. Despit
occasional
alarms,
the
country
escaped
any
postwar
depression and lived in a state of boom. A n economic survey
of the year 1955, a typical year of the 1950
’
s, may be typical as
illustrating
the
rapid
economic
growth
of
the
decade.
The
national
output
was
value
at
10
percent
above
that
of
1954
(1955
output
was
estimated
at
392
billion
dollars).
The
production of manufacturers was about 40 percent more than
it had averaged in the years immediately following World War
2.
The
country
’
s
business
spent
about
30billion
dollars
for
new
factories
and
machinery.
National
income
available
for
spending was almost a third greater than it
had been it had
been in 1950. Consumers spent about 256 billion dollars; that
is about 700 million dollars a day ,or about twenty-five million
dollars
every
hour
,
all
round
the
clock.
Sixty- five
million
people
held
jobs
and
only
a
little
more
than
two
million
wanted
jobs
but
could
not
find
them
.
Only
agriculture
1

complained
that
it
was
not
sharing
in
the
room.
To
some
observers this was an ominous echo of the mid-1920
’
s . As
farmer
’
s shre of their products declined , marketing costs rose.
But there were , among the observers of the national economy,
a few who were not as confident as the majority . Those few
seemed
to
fear
that
the
boom
could
not
last
and
would
eventually lead to the oppsite-depression.
