I think attributing the "good years" just to post war production is an incomplete explanation. The real issue is irresponsible private ownership and hobbling the value our economy can create.

Creating true value in our work is possible. Once some types of work are done the output can continue to benefit our society for decades. But a confluence of decisions by private owners have meant often we don't receive that benefit, and instead it's siphoned away as profit.
