A AND B
Americans began to buy more goods because:
A. There was more advertising by businesses to sell products
B. they had the ability to buy items on credit
After World War 2, the United States entered into an era of prosperity that saw an age of consumerism.
This was driven by:
advertisements in every type of media there was and as more media were invented, more adverts followed.
credit purchases which allowed Americans to buy whatever they wanted on credit and only pay back later.
emphasis on the protection of the rights of consumers
These things drove American consumerism to massive levels so can conclusively be said to have influenced Americans to buy more goods.
