"Experts incorrectly predicted that an economic collapse would follow the end of World War II."

Explanation: Contrary to those predictions, the U.S. experienced a postwar economic boom—rising GNP, low unemployment, expanding consumer demand, federal programs (GI Bill, housing and education aid, continued defense spending) and rising wages through the late 1940s–1950s. The other statements are inaccurate.
