The article suggests a few:
- loss of faith in political system (approval of congress was 13% at the time).
- feeling that ordinary people cannot influence policy anyway.
- WW2 recedes => cultural memory of the potential horrors of dictatorship fades.

Whose Economic Growth Is it Anyway?
How To Make A Growing Economy Benefit All
This is an excellent piece by @jeevunsandher.bsky.social - it is worth highlighting too that lower levels of formal political engagement of younger people reduces the incentives for politicians to address the growing generational economic divide. jeevunsandher.substack.com/p/whose-econ...

I've been teaching this Fao and Mounk article for years, along with the debate that it generated. It is time to accept that the unpalatable truth that WVS data has long contained serious red flags about societal support for democratic values, and discuss what can be done about this.
