"Women (free labor)"
Rosie the Riveters earned $50/week during WWII, only $6 less than men.
"minorities (super cheap labor)"
Minorities had trouble getting work anywhere until the 1970's. Kind of hard to serve as "super cheap labor" when one is unemployed.
"the so-called "developing" world (free and cheap labor, and cheap resources)"
:wow:
Uh...that's the situation today. There's a thing happening today called "globalization". It did not exist during FDR and Truman's time. American products were made by American labor using American resources.
