Hmm, i've definitely heard that story about decreased competition being a factor in USA post-war prosperity, but I seem to have been misinformed, since after looking at [1], it was due to a lot of things - namely increased fertility and farmers learning how to do more economically valuable jobs - but not from them winning the war. What's very sad is when you read a little further on about the USA economic decline after 1970 to today... Anyway thank you for letting me know I was being a dingus!
