Those were desperate times.  Different nations with different ideologies were trying desperate measures.  In America, there were the Alphabet Soup agencies and programs.  Germany's re-armament program was bigger and sooner than most, brought the economy around quickest, but it had disastrous side effects as the government was looking to use all those weapons.  The Communist economic policies must have angered Mother Nature, who apparently goes out of her way to cause famines whenever Communists institute their extreme farm policies.      Yes, people and governments everywhere were trying extreme plans that varied by ideology and had very mixed results.

I wouldn't want to be entering the work force these days.  Job availability, college loan policies and other factors make this a far worse time to be starting out than when I came out during the 1970's National Malaise era.  We thought we had it bad then?  Well, compared to the 1950s and 1960s, sure, but not compared to today.  Still, the situation isn't anywhere near as desperate as when Fascism and Communism were considered viable philosophies.  Today, the Unravelling Reagan memes are still relevant, saying that the government is so incompetent, so corrupt, so inefficient, that big government programs to help the People don't work and should be shunned.

I just wonder how much long the Reagan memes can linger before we revisit the 'Good Old Days', the heyday of tax and spend liberalism.

What is Hillary's key one liner message, the equivalent of her husband's "Hope" and Obama's "Change?"  Is she going with honesty in advertising?  "More of the same!"
