Talk:Alfred P. Sloan/Archives/2021

Antisemitism Sidebar.

Harry Cousins, you restored an antisemitism sidebar to this article. I do not see how the article supports this sidebar. There isn't evidence that Sloan supported any type of antisemitism. Collaboration with the pre-war German government is something that must be viewed in context of what was known at the time and an assumption that the company is trying to keep Opel from being nationalized.

Post War section appears biased

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)

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)
