This brought about basic changes in lifestyle of Americans. More people could afford new housing, and many people moved to houses in suburbs, which were bigger and had more open spaces. Movement to suburbs was also partly due to better school facilities for children. * At the end of the decade, the median American family had 30% more purchasing power than at the beginning. Inflation, which had wreaked havoc on the economy immediately after World War II, was minimal, in part because of Eisenhower's persistent efforts to balance the federal budget.
The rapid growth of old and new industries led to a population migration from rural to urban areas. The agricultural industry was another of the industries that faced a lot of changes, mechanisation meant better yields which therefore meant that, less agricultural workers were needed. There is evidence to support and contradict whether or not those economic developments did in fact threaten the power of the elites. There is evidence to support the idea that the economic developments in Germany in the period 1900-1914 didn’t pose a threat to the power of the elites because economic growth and the opening up of new industries bring many benefits with them. While it has been argued that an exceptional economic growth caused some problems, the advantages that came with it, outweigh the negatives.
Immigration Family, friends, the comforts of home and familiar surroundings all became a distant memory for people when they immigrated to the United States. Immigration is essential to the American economy because it contributes to the overall growth of the nation's wealth, it successfully exhibits the economic capitalist model that our nation has come to possess and, above all, it promotes success for the immigrants' and the natives' descendents alike. To begin, immigration in its totality increases the total output of the economy. By welcoming foreigners from various countries with open arms, the United States is initiating the correct action in promoting its economic growth. When these new people enter the daily workings of American society, they contribute positively to both employment and consumption.
Tory governments of the 1820’s introduced reforms due to many reasons. One of the most notable reasons would have to be of the revival of the economy in the early 1820’s. Also, there was less discontent and unrest within Britain, economic conditions improved, there were good harvests, unemployment decreased and bread became cheaper, so as a result of this, it became very easy for Tory government to introduce reforms as Britain was succeeding. Another main reason for the Tories to introduce a reform would have been the fact that Britain had now become an increasingly industrialised nation in which the new middle class, factory owners and bankers were asking for a larger say in the government of the country. At this time in 1820, the Tories
Lowes had to expand their brand image somewhat because of the large market share of the DIY market that the Home Depot held and the stagnation of the housing market in the 80s. The Home Depot seems to have a more recognizable brand in regards to their target market segment because of the consistency of their image. Because of this more recognizable brand and large market share it can be concluded that The Home Depot has a larger stronghold on the market and provides more goodwill for its investors than

One of them was new inventions such as radios TV’s and refrigerators. Many people bought these inventions because they thought it would benefit and make heir lives easier. The effects of these inventions are that it made it possible to keep food for a long time, enjoy shows without having to go to the theatre and listening to the news on the go. These inventions are still in use to this day, which shows how much of an impact it had on American life. A political change in the 1920 was the election of Calvin Coolidge.
Eric Foner states that scholars see the New Deal as ‘a reflection of the rising emphasis on consumption in the American economy.’ The 1920s saw the American economy booming and people’s living standards improving, meaning that the New Deal did not make that much of a long-term difference in economic growth, but only improved it in the short-term. This is despite the fact that it undoubtedly brought an end to mass unemployment and helped improve the living standards of all Americans –creating a snowball effect for improved living

If they have more money then they believe that they are able to spend more and therefore take out a mortgage.
