257. I think you're oversimplifying and really ignoring Keynes' role
In ending the Depression. Basically Keynesian economics was nowhere near socialism...it's goal is to stimulate spending in a market economy.

Secondly, socialism wasn't that popular here...as unions in Europe were forming democratic labor parties unions in the US were not advocating the end of capitalism.

Populism was popular I agree.
