The post WW II economy came decades after regulation of business began in the Progressive Era and New Deal Socialism.


Fact is the United States became the greatest economy the world has ever seen while facing more regulation then it had in the 19th Century. If you really think that de-regulated business is good for the country then we will never agree.

but that's largely irrelevant, as we were the only major economy left on earth, our population had a bunch of money in savings, AND we got to rebuild europe for the next decade or 2. we could have had a much, much less efficient system (ie, more regulated) and still roared along

You're trying to claim that those regulation were what caused the booming economy and not the fact that the United States had the only intact industrial base in the world after WWII.

The economy succeeded inspite of those regulations not because of them.
