Hey all, I'm writing a paper about economics in the twentieth century. I will not even pretend that some of the books I have to use were interesting. They were not. However, I just read one about how consumerism shaped the 1950s and 60s. It was super-interesting, and I didn't have to read about boring governmental agency after boring governmental agency. Instead, I read about things like the GI Bill's impact on creating suburbs and the ability to control who lived near you on a whole new level. Gender, race, class, malls, riots, TV, mass culture, advertising.... Yea!
Now back to the paper.
