Could some of the theory of the post war boom in America be seen as comparison economics? A man with two coconuts, sitting under a tree might consider himself poor. But when he looks around, he sees man with one coconut under another tree. Then sees another with two coconuts, but no tree. Now he considers himself wealthy. The US had factories whose production was cut at the end of the war. But at least it had factories. Most industrial nations had piles of smoldering bricks.
