Contents Description:

World War II forced a restructuring of the American economy that was particularly visible in the West. In 1940 the region was still depression-bound and dependent upon the shipping of raw materials to the industrialized Northwest and Midwest. But by 1945 the West had spawned a mushrooming manufacturing complex, a bustling service-economy, and a multitude of aerospace, electronic, and science-oriented industries that heralded a new phase of economic development. - from the inside flap
