Regarding the very long run, people forget survivor bias. For instance, in the early 20th century, you would have had the choice to invest in three equally promising emerging markets: Argentina, Russia, and the USA. One of those went on to

It was certainly a once-in-a-lifetime event looking back: the greatest economic shock since the Great Depression [0]. As to why it is different now, this article [1] contains some answers (anyone can decide whether they agree or not). [0]
