I just can’t understand how the Golden Age in USA emerged after the World War 2. Although they “won” the war, they spent billions of dollars on their military and on the Marshall plan to assist and to restore the economic infrastructure of many countries in Europe.
EDIT: There are some comments mentioning that the USA didn’t get bombed during the WW2. I know that, but USA has never gotten bombed. Why did it happen right after the WW2 and not later?
In: Economics
Because all the other countries spent billions of dollars on the war and got flattened. The US infrastructure was basically untouched because of those two huge oceans between them and the other combatants.
