I'm confused as to how one can claim that government intervention ruined the country in the thirties, but then turn around and point to "that WWII production" as the way out?
What was the WWII economy if not a centrally planned, government run, government bought economy? The only difference between WWII and the new deal economies was that in WWII, Washington had total control and unlimited power to spend, whereas during the 30's it could not surmount corporate/private resistance to at least some projects.
