been it had been in1950.Consumers spent about 256 billion dollars;that is about 700 million dollars a day,or about twenty-five million dollars every hour,all round the clock.Sixty-five million people held jobs and only a little more than two million wanted jobs but could not find them.Only agriculture complained that it was not sharing in the room.To some observers this was an ominous echo of the mid-1920's.As farmer's shre of their products declined,marketing costs rose.Butthere were,among the observers of the national economy,a few who were not as confident as the majority.Those few seemed
