The production of manufacturers was about 40percent more than it had averaged in the years immediately following World War2. The country’s business spent about 30billion dollars for new factories andmachinery. National income available for spending was almost a third greaterthan it had been it had been in 1950. Consumers spent about 256 billiondollars; that is about 700 million dollars a day, or about twenty-five milliondollars every hour, all round the clock. Sixty-five million people held jobsand only a little more than two million wanted jobs but could not find them.Only agriculture complained that it was not sharing in the room. To someobservers this was an ominous echo of the mid-1920’s. As farmer’s share oftheir products declined, marketing costs rose.

Those few seemed to fear that the boom could not last and wouldeventually lead to the opposite-depression.
