Purchasing Power
Sets New Record
A recent survey by the Brookings
Institution covering the economic his
tory of the past 100 years concluded
that the 1940’s were “our most active
decade.”
The results of the survey are pub
lished in a book, The Dynamic Econ
omy, by Harold G. Moulton, and sum
marized in a booklet, America’s i
Wealth.
The booklet says the fears of many I
Americans that another great depres- |
sion would grip the country after
World War II proved groundless be
cause:
“1. There was a great vacuum to
be filled—shortages resulting from
suspended production during war
time.
“2. American aid to the rest of
the world continued on a much
larger scale than had been expected.
“3. Most important of all, there j
had occurred a great rise in the j
real income of the masses.”
The Brookings Institution, which
reflects, in general, a conservative
economic outlook, observes that “there
were more breadwinners per family
than in earlier periods of peace” and
that “families could buy 30 percent
more goods than before the war.”
In 1920 only 28 percent of Amer
ican families had incomes of from
$2,000 to $5,000 a year. By 1946,
50 percent of all families had incomes
in the $2,000-$5,000 bracket.
"The 1940's emerged as our moat
active decade— a decade of full em
ployment, full production, large-scale
buying, tremendous war production
followed by reconversion to peacetime
production and unmatched expansion,”
the Brookings Institution concludes.
“Broad sharing of economic gains
is necessary to fulfill the deeper re
quirements of democracy,” states the
Brookings Institution. “Stability of
our institutions depends on it.”
