According to some historians, we have that to thank for SS and some other "people-friendly" stuff. The government was forced to adopt some socialist policies to keep 'em happy down on the farm.

"That was written in what, 1920?"

If I were to guess, that would have been during the 1930s. After the collapse of the stock market and the collapse of most of the capitalistic economies across the world, socialism seemed somewhat more attractive than it does now...

Yes, it was right before most capitalist nations became more socialistic.
