The United States held the majority of the worlds factories and almost all of the ones that weren’t in a decimated war torn country.

It took nearly 20 years to rebuild Europe to the point that it could compete, and USSR was largely cut off from global supply in western worlds.

It’s not the same today and one cannot possibly assert with a straight face that we would enjoy a decade of 37% growth with those rates.
