> women into workforce
Great, when can we start working 1/2 time? 3 day workweeks allow 2-working-spouse families to raise their own kids, you know. Might help with those pesky fertility rates.
> total compensation vs. wages
Yeah, if you count medical inflation as additional compensation then only 80% of Americans are worse off instead of 90%.
Simplicity is a blunt instrument, but devils dance in the details and simplicity can bop them. Contrast to "just think harder," which grants victory to whoever can afford to spend more time thinking on it.
- tptacek 3y agoThis is a site that supports a goldbug argument that virtually everything that has gone with every economy in the world traces back to the end of the gold exchangeability standard. Thats a simple narrative that is almost certainly not true. Whether it is or isn't, for many of the reasons in that thread (and probably many others), this particular site is not a good argument for that narrative, since many of the charts are simply broken.
