What went Right in the 1950s?
It is my opinion that America's best years were the 1950s. I admit that I ascribe to the nostalgic feelings of returning to those years when the economy boomed with new inventions, equality for most , and a booming outlook on life. ( This is not to say it was all equal, as the racial inequity was as strong as ever and cannot be overlooked. In no way do I wish to return to the racial inequality of that era, but the economic prosperity should be achievable without the racial discrimination. ) I have found it beyond ironic that I find agreement with the extremely-polarized Trump-ists to try and return to the prosperity of the 1950s, although I know we likely seek it for very different reasons. There were many reasons why the 1950s was such a golden era for America. And in some ways it was just luck that landed the country in such a glorious position within the world's stage.
