Reviving Free Enterprise: The Business Endeavors in Post-War America

In the aftermath of World War II, the United States stood at a crossroads. The war had left the country’s economy in ruins, and the nation was deeply divided over the best way to rebuild. In this tumultuous climate, the business community emerged as a powerful force, determined to reshape American society in its own image.

Business leaders were convinced that the New Deal policies of the 1930s had stifled economic growth and undermined individual liberty. They launched a massive campaign to discredit New Deal liberalism and promote free enterprise as the only path to prosperity. This campaign was waged on multiple fronts, from the halls of Congress to the factories and schools of the nation.

Business leaders used their wealth and influence to lobby politicians, fund anti-labor propaganda, and spread their message through the media. They also worked to infiltrate schools and community organizations, where they promoted their own version of history and economics. Their goal was to create a new generation of Americans who would be loyal to business and hostile to government intervention in the economy.

The business community’s efforts were largely successful. By the end of the 1950s, the New Deal order had been dismantled, and the power of organized labor had been severely weakened. Free enterprise had become the dominant ideology in American society, and the business community had emerged as the most powerful force in the country.

This book tells the story of how the business community reshaped American society in the post-war era. It is a story that has been largely forgotten, but it is one that deserves to be told. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in American history, economics, or business. It is also a cautionary tale about the dangers of corporate power and the importance of a strong democracy.
