Thank you for referencing that other discussion. It's the mechanism(s) that lead to improved employment rates and GNP that interest me. Bill Dwyer pointed to price controls and wage ceilings as one mechanism. Others pointed to women in the work force and lots of people getting drafted as another mechanism (although I'm not sure that employment increased wealth more than it maintained wealth or just shuffled it around). And I just heard from a colleague that The U.S. emerged as the great exporter post WWII where previously dominant economies were in tatters.
More ideas?
