It's better than it otherwise would have been. As Margaret Thatcher noted decades ago, people concerned about inequality would be happier if everyone were worse off, so long as everyone were equal in their squalor. That's just insane. I've seen my parents' childhood toys, and my grandparents'. I've seen items in museums from centuries ago. I've been to third-world hellholes just barely beginning to liberalise their economies. I've seen the famous video of an 'upper-class' Soviet supermarket which was worse than the worst supermarket I've ever been to in the poorest part of town. The past was immensely poorer than the present; illiberal economies are immensely poorer than the West. It may make you emotionally happier to drag down the wealthy, but it will make you actually poorer.
