It seems that he has been generally correct about the economic problem gradually ending, though maybe inequality of distribution has been worse than he expected, so we are still somewhat distant from the real end. But if his picture is right, there should have been steady progress in the ability of the upper middle class to make better use of leisure time. Has there been? I have no clear sense of this.

You can get one of a billion computerized entertainment products. You can get one of a billion billion noncomputerized entertainment products, delivered to your home in two days. In a day. In an hour. By truck. By bike. By drone. You can fly in a plane to Jamaica Friday evening and be back by Monday morning, don't even need to take a vacation day. We're in an age of unprecedented personal entertainment, and the upper middle classes are in an ideal position to take advantage.
