I'm not sure exactly how good a measure GNP is of this, but for what it's worth the US GNP both absolute and per capita was slightly above its 2008 level by 2010, and has kept climbing ever since. https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/USA/united-states/gnp-gross-national-product https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/USA/united-states/gnp-... By contrast the UK still hasn't come close to recovering to the same level: https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/GBR/united-kingdom/gnp-gross-national-product https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/GBR/united-kingdom/gnp... So maybe the US at least is in a better position than it was in the 1930's to recover on that measure?
