The Roots of Post-War Politics: Alan Wolfe
After WWII challenges faced the US regarding government organization and relationships within the world. There was a great push to return to business, while battling communisim and embracing ideals of isolationist policy. There were even some thoughts of continuing New Deal initiatives to a natural conclusion of democratic socialism, American style. (full employment, economic planning, national health insurance, commitment to peace though the United nations)
America chose economics over politics believing if the economy was under control, social issues would follow. Economic expansion was sought at home and abroad.
