Will there be a roaring 20s?

[The Mikado]

Lots of signs pointing to a boom coming. Whether that boom lasts six years like the 1923-29 boom is impossible to know.

People forget that the boom followed an extremely sharp and painful but short 1919-1921 recession, with extremely high unemployment as all the draftees demobilized and reentered civilian life only to find there were no jobs. People in 1921 would roll their eyes at Roaring 20s, too.
