We're Richer Than We've Ever Been Before
We're richer than we've ever been before. Don't believe me? Don Boudreaux takes a walk through a 1975 Sears catalog:
Other than the style differences, the fact most noticeable from the contents of this catalog's 1,491 pages is what the catalog doesn't contain. The Sears customer in 1975 found no CD players for either home or car; no DVD or VHS players; no cell phones; no televisions with remote controls or flat-screens; no personal computers or video games; no food processors; no digital cameras or camcorders; no spandex clothing; no down comforters (only comforters filled with polyester).
It seems to me that people were poor back in the '70's.
