Some social scientists give much of the credit for the development of the middle class in America to the mass production of the automobile. If this is true, at what point in the development of the "automobile" industry did social scientists give credit to this idea. What I mean is this: in the auto industry, how many automobiles had to be produced in what time frame before their production is referred to as "mass" production, and how long after automobiles were considered to be mass produced did they have any affect on the development of the middle class in America.

I'm not sure what you meant, but it made a lot of sense.
not all in the old countries were able to shake off the temptations that arise in everyday lives...and those who did not, in Puritan America, were considered failures, if they drank in public or were drunk or did not sweep their house everyday, etc... if they did not ...and so on...
I understand the POV the social scientists are making and it is a valid point, but I think there is more to it.
