Very good condition. Very rare book titled:
Economic Forces in the U.S.A. in Facts and Figures
This 104-page volume served as a definitive statistical baseline designed to illustrate the rapid evolution of the mid-century American economic engine.
Published during the height of the post-World War II economic boom, the book was primarily designed to introduce international observers, policymakers, and researchers to the structural foundation of the American economy. It utilized highly visual charts, tables, and concise data summaries rather than dense, theoretical text to map out how the country managed its resources and human capital.Core Data and Themes ExploredThe Demographic Foundation: Detailed data tracking the explosive population growth of the early \"Baby Boom\" era and its geographic dispersion across the country.The Expanding Labor Force: Detailed breakdowns of employment by industry, highlighting the sharp post-war transition toward specialized manufacturing, technology, and public infrastructure sectors.Living Standards & Purchasing Power: Statistical proof of rising mid-century living standards, tracking wage growth, corporate productivity, and the consumer purchasing power that fueled the rise of the American middle class.
