Aside from the inflation of '47 there wasn't bad times here after the war. In 1950 things started to move upward, but it was slow and solid. Didn't pick up momentum until 1953. By '56, things were cool and getting hot. These judgements are relative. Was 1924 all that booming? Yes and no. Relative to 1908 - 1913, definitely yes. Relative to 1926, no. You can't look at GNP growth and conclude there was good or bad times. Sometimes things are bad, but people are feeling good from the previous years. Often what gets written in history is public impression, not economic fact. What should be written? Are we in good times now or not? Three months ago we were by unanimous public opinion. Now, ...Seems we have realities that only last an instant.
