Post War section appears biased[edit]

The section doesn't discuss Sloan at all, aside from an economic prediction of his. It then cites the same two sources three times in a row. It also doesn't appear to be factually correct, as the US did enter a recession in 1945, plus more in 1949, 1953, and 1958 (see List_of_recessions_in_the_United_States#Great_Depression_onward). While there was an era of post-War prosperity, there were ups and downs. Moreover, this section currently seems designed to belittle "New Dealers" and Keynesian economists (when the era of prosperity was presided over by a Keynesian consensus until the 1970s) rather than discuss Sloan's life.Tulesounds (talk) 21:21, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, it is too positive, not a balanced picture of the company that could not deal with Japanese competition by the 1970s, stuck in in Sloan’s rut. - - Prairieplant (talk) 13:04, 29 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
