    There are. Also, progressivism, robber barons, gilded age. Unfortunately, a world war might follow. Then, a red scare, unionization and a New Deal. History is literally repeating. The unknown variable is climate change.

      Missed the depression after red scare. Then you need a second red scare after the Second World War, which comes after new deal.

      Other unknown variable imho, is nuclear weaponary, which made it impossible to continue WW2. We haven’t seen or experienced a “hot” war between nuclear nations since that’s been possible. (Though I imagine climate change makes nuclear confrontation more likely, albeit probably indirectly.)
