The Welfare State and Social Democracy

There's this thing called the Treaty of Detroit, which is this massive, basically set of negotiations and then are like agreements. They're explicitly being negotiated between these massive trade unions and like the capitalists who own companies buy the American government. So they get this deal. The deal is you get unions and pension and a vacation and like healthcare, as long as you don't like seize control of factories and run them for themselves. Yeah. And this held from sort of like the 50s through the 70s, but partially this held because also the US specifically was growing really fast.
