Post-WW2, which had remarkably lower levels of inequality, is what made America wealthy. The first guilded age gave us the depression.

The great depression was more than a generation after the gilded age ended, and after a world war followed by an economic boom (roaring 20s).

The US became a word power during the gilded age.
