MANAGERIAL REVOLUTION AND WELFARE CAPITALISM Companies created modern
organization structures with managers and division heads

Ford increased wages of workers Unions died off and seemed

prosperity Technological advances
allowed them to produce more, but not a higher demand
Government urged farmers to produce more during the war (Many farmers borrowed heavily to buy new land)
After war, European markets rose, and less US products bought
