Disruption in Detroit: Autoworkers and the Elusive Postwar Boom
Academic studies and popular culture depict the 1940–1973 U.S. economic boom as a golden age. Economic historians note that U.S. per capita real gross national product (Gnp) tripled between 1938 and 1973, one of the greatest economic growth spurts in American history. Moreover, the great boom period was nearly historically unique in decreasing economic inequality. The rich became richer, but more slowly than the rest of the population. The share …

How Should Historians Think about 'The Gangs of New York
Although ‘Gangs of New York’ offers a gritty and remarkable spectacle of working‐class life in New York City before the Civil War, it is likely to disappoint social historians. Even well‐made historical dramas usually do. If historians want to understand why, they must go beyond critiques of the inaccuracies of particular films, and analyse how the relations of production in culture industries make such an outcome probable. Because cultural produ…
