From 1977, it's worth noting (or perhaps 1969, depending on whether you look at the text or the url).

- olalonde 16y agoI wish people would mention this when they submit. The text makes much more sense now!
- amadiver 16y agoSorry -- I'd thought of including it in the link title, but I'd had the realization that this was an old article about midway through, and for some reason it increased my satisfaction in reading it. The clues are all there - the prices are what gave it away for me.
- AngryParsley 16y agoThat explains why everything seemed so cheap. Adjusting for inflation, $2,000 in the early 70's is around $10,000 today.

- gommm 16y agoAccording to this http://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2010/10/the-gentle-art-of-poverty/64112/ http://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2010/10/the-gent... it's from 1977 Edit: Interestingly, changing the year in the url still return the same page. So: http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1977/10/the-gentle-art-of-poverty/8241/ http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1977/10/the-gent... http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1954/10/the-gentle-art-of-poverty/8241/ http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1954/10/the-gent... Both point to the same article
- gort 16y agoIn fact, much of the URL is meaningless: http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/print/1666/09/great-fire-of-london/8241/ http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/print/1666/09/great-fire...
