History is not a science. It can't be, unless we discount the thick fuzz of human behavior. And interestingly enough, if we did there wouldn't be much left.
"Conversion" was the key issue in American economic life in 1940-1942. In many industries, company executives resisted converting to military production because they did not want to lose consumer market share to competitors who did not convert.
