Changes That American Economy Went Through Between the 1950s and 1990s
The continuing baby boom after the war was supported by optimism after the war, which

Suddenly reversed one century of declining birth rates. The economic boom in the aftermath of
the war was fueled by the rapid increase in ownership and the rise of residential suburbs.
Builders constructed large concentrations of single-family homes on the outskirts of American
cities. The first Levittown, the prototypical residential village, was built in 1946 at Long Island,
New York. The aftermath of the construction boom has helped countless companies. The selling
of equipment and automobiles increased as war materials went from manufacturers to consumer
products and the suburbs grew (Locke & Ben, ch 26).
On a May morning in 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson set out a broad blueprint for
the Great Society, a bundle of domestic reforms. The Great Society, he vowed, would uplift
socially and economically disenfranchised Americans, who had been denying access to federal
promises of equitable political and economic opportunities for far too long, while also improving
the expectations and quality of living of all Americans. Aside from equal rights, the Great Nation
addressed a variety of quality-of-life issues that were unexpectedly solvable in such a prosperous
society. Despite universal enthusiasm for the majority of Great Society efforts, the War on
Poverty remained a focus of domestic controversy from both the left and right. On the left,
