What woudl thomas sowell say
best system for allocating resources which have alternative uses
@sɪᴅɪsɴᴏᴛʜᴇʀᴇ Workers right were still terrible before the 1930s. People still worked very long hours, made very little money, and would constantly be threatened to be fired. It took government intervention to make them better. Otherwise, the companies would have continued exploiting workers.
@Anon365 I said in the 1800s second part
Wages went up while working hours fell down
With a material standard of living increase
If anything FDRs intervention destroyed it
The Gilded Age was a period of rapid economic growth and technological innovation in the United States beginning in the latter half of the 19th Century and extending into the early 20th Century. During this time per capita income and living standards were raised dramatically. Infant mortality fell steadily and life expectancy was extended by many years. It was during this period of growth that the economy in the U.S. overtook that of Great Britain to be the world's largest.

**Why the parties never switched:**
-The reason why the whites in the south started voting republican was not because of the civil rights act. But because of the industrial work coming over to the south and economic growth. You see the republicans ( just like today) didn't give out juicy government benefits to the people, so the white racist farmer losing his job continued to vote democrat in the south to gain the government benefits and used black people as an excuse which secured his vote for the democrats.
-The reason the blacks went to the democratic party( as early as the 1930s) was the new deal plan by FDR. It offered a shit ton benefits/ welfare to help blacks people they had to vote as republicans were not giving anything out and were small government in economics ( and still are today, while the democrats are all for benefits) . Many of them were sad to see them leave the Republican Party and join the party of slavery, but there was no other choice. CONTEXT: This was all in the Great Depression.
-The trend of blacks voting democrat started in the 30's due to FDR and his new deal policies helping black people as I said.
-The trend of the south switching started in the 50's( 10 years before the civil rights act) due to industrialisation in the south, but the thing is they said the parties switched after the civil rights act but it took 30 years for republicans to gain a majority of southern congressional seats( especially the deep south) . Which is odd as the "party switch " conspiracy says they all got angry and voted republican.
Take Dwight D Eisenhower as well, in 1952 he won Tennessee, Florida and Virginia. In 1956 he won Louisiana, Kentucky and West Virginia. And this was AFTER he sent the 101st airborne to enforce desegregation. You would think the white racists would not vote for the republicans wouldn't you? Surely the racists in the south wouldn't vote for a person that enforced the desegregation.(edited)
60% support for the civil rights act in the democratic party, 80% in the republican party. The common misconception is that the democrats who hated the bill switched sides and republicans went to the other side as they saw the racists coming in. But the truth is: only one democrat switched sides, Strom Thurmond, the rest of them stayed life long democrats. Some examples are Robert Byrd and Al Gore's dad who voted against the civil rights act, voted against the voting rights act and Robert Byrd was in the KKK and still was until he died. They both stayed lifelong democrats only to be endorsed by Clinton too.
If you want some examples too:
-FDR was a big government democrat who created social security, wouldn't be a republican in any measure today
-Wildrow Wilson was the same and he created the FED reserve, wouldn't be a republican today
-LBJ created medicare and medicaid and was a democrat, wouldn't be a republican today(edited)
-Coolidge was a republican who was small government and he would be a republican today(edited)
-Same for Harding, he was a republican like Coolidge who would be one today(edited)
@sɪᴅɪsɴᴏᴛʜᴇʀᴇ
"During the Gilded Age, the economic disparities between the workers and big business owners grew exponentially. Workers continued to endure low wages and dangerous working conditions in order to make a living. Big business owners, however, enjoyed lavish lifestyles."
Again, this continued until the government intervened and protected workers in the 30s.
