Age of high mass consumption

The Age of High Mass Consumption is a period typically starting in the mid-20th century when nations, especially developed countries, experienced significant economic growth. This growth led to increased production of consumer goods like cars, appliances, and electronics, making them widely available and affordable for many people. As a result, people's standard of living improved, and consumption became a central aspect of life. This era reflects a shift from basic needs to a focus on comfort, leisure, and material wealth, driven by technological advances and higher disposable incomes.
