A famously great time to be an American, assuming you weren’t colored, Latino, or a woman.
In 1972 the business Round Table made a long game and it has since been refined.
American corporate collaboration didn’t begin in 1972. You can trace it back to the antebellum era and the birth of American industrialization.
The New Deal was a historical aberration that came through the rapid economic attrition of the Great Depression. Prior to the Depression of '32, Henry Ford, JP Morgan, and John D. Rockefeller were individually as powerful as any half dozen elected officials combined.

Yes anytime the new deal is brought up the detractors say that minorities were discriminated against, so, nothing they did counts. Defective logic, nothing anyone did ever would count using that logic.
Give me one historical example where you could not find injustice to negate using an example from? Just one. Nothing now would count. Nothing in us history.
Using that argument is telling of where your head is at, perhaps actively stymying resistance, to accelerate the decline mistakenly believing something better would replace it. That is the more charitable take on your use of that argument too.
