Explain the expanded role of advertising and consumer credit. why can it be said that the prosperity of the 1950s and 1960s was substantially consumer-driven?

It influenced consumer spending.  This encouraged people to go out and buy more products that they wanted.  Due to the postwar economic prosperity, many Americans had extra money to spend.  As a result producers launched a massive advertising campaign to encourage consumers to buy more.
