This outbreak can be traced through the 60's to the Second World War, and from the Great Depression to the period immediately following the First World War. After WWI, plants, manufacturers and farmers constant to produce goods at the same rate they had been during the war. However, with European industry picking back up, the demand for US products in the international market was abridged. The lack of self-control (not government-control, but self-control) on the part of the producers resulted in surpluses, which lead to over-speculation and monetary discrepancy.
With their new-found affluence, most of the greatest age group resolute to give their children the whole thing they themselves never had. It was that willpower that produced the prerogative frame of mind borne by the Baby-Boomer Generation. Prerogative lead to a lack of admiration, and that lack of respect opened the door to question the lot. Such a notion may sound noble and wise, but that is only true when the questions are noble and wise. Unhappily, the preponderance of question-raisers were overly self-assured students who abused their bodies by ingesting chemicals and participating in "free-love".
