I think we have a roughly equivalent picture of what changed for the poor, just different words to describe it. The actual work necessary to keep everyone fed and clothed fell by a factor of at least twenty, while the lot of the poor improved by something like a factor of two to five. They're far better off, sure, but far below the 1:1 ratio that non-systematic analysis will often assume for anti-poverty interventions.
