Ummm and not the offshoring of blue collar jobs? Crushing unions? Regan tearing up political norms? Destruction of media fairness and killing of local news (News papers)?

This wasn’t an overnight transition, this is nearly 50 years of slow fracture of our society. Mostly led from the shadows by various religious groups that have a death cult mindset.

Anna Bocca on Youtube has some really good research on US economics through 20th Century.

I was surprised to learn that socialist ideas were popular in 30s due to Great Depression, with most pastors preaching mutual help, support, social support. Then the churches who preach individualism and chase for wealth got funding and newspaper space. Mfs literally redesigned American Christianity.
