This film, made at the height of World War II and the economic boom it caused, frets about the postwar economy. But it suggests that economic planning of business and government will prevent a repeat of the Great Depression and mass unemployment. It forecasts a boom of pent-up consumer demand for durables and such new products as television and personal helicopters. It also forecasts a boom in exports to help Europe and China rebuild. The one element not hinted at is anything like the GI Bill, which turned out to be an important factor in the postwar adjustment. This is Part One.
