The 1920s was a time of much entertainment and drastic change. After WWII, Americans were tired of self-sacrifice and bored with high moralism. In many ways, boredom with moralism gave way to the age of entertainment. The economy also prospered after a short recession during which industry converted back to peacetime. Consquently, economic conditions and developments in the arts and entertainment helped create the reputation of the 1920s as the "Roaring Twenties." The American economy experienced tremedous prosperity during the time period. A policy of modern laissez-faire dominated goverment and business relations, which can be summed up as "less government in business, and more business in goverment." The 1920s was also a time of Republican control of the presidency, and Republicans traditionally supported big business.
