I love capitalism because I’m a soulless consumerist wretch, and I’m not sorry. Actually, I love capitalism because I’m familiar, first-hand, with the soft-core socialism that permeates most of Europe, and that system is idiosyncratic, at best. See, my grandparents live in a small provincial capital in Southern France called Aurillac, where they know everyone and have voted communist four times in a row because—despite their Gaullist stances—they know the communist mayor’s mother and he’s a good sort.

The roaring twenties were a time of great prosperity, as the economy boomed after World War I. The nation was intent on having fun; a jazz obsession swept the nation, and prohibition did little to dampen the national spirit. Advertising at the time reflected the wealth of the nation, and a naivete and optimism that science was on the precipice of a golden age. Here are 40 ads from the 1920’s that reveal a nation intent on sprinting into the future: The 1920’s were a strange time full of wacky fads, and too much trust in unproven science .

About twenty years ago, I had noted that, “Given the demands of our times, civil service is beyond reforms… The new trend and changes and their demands on the civil service are as enormous as those of the [1930s post-depression years] New Deal and the post World War II Keynesian fiscal policies, hence it is now appropriate to talk in terms of a new civil service culture – a culture that breaks, for example, the monopoly of state in rendering of detention, prison, policing, safety and security, refuse disposal and transport services. … Today‘s reforms … are more than offshoots of the old issues of efficiency, effectiveness, ...
