        My feeling is that our modern prosperity was the result of number 1. We had the world's only intact industrial plant after WWII.

        Agree in part. Tho also think we used other techniques to keep playing field skewed until last 15 years.

        Yes & no. I've looked at lots of data since 1970, & it seems to be more like rearranging chairs on the Titanic than prosperity.

        Been a long journey, but the answer, I think, lies in misapprehension of "prosperity."

        I think prosperity has been wrongly construed as material self-sufficiency (which fuels consumerism)...

        Ancillary effect is disconnect from social networks, that were, in part, held together by need to share....

        But the early warning signs began appearing in 1965, when inflation began creeping upward, in spite of the Bretton Wood.

        We managed to stash away so much wealth from the 50's & 60's we managed to coast on that until abt 1991.

        Mortality profiles of South Boston and Roxbury were close to identical. (Irony: this is when they were at war over busing.) 2/2

        Higher mortality rates of impoverished whites isn’t a new thing. I did work on it in the 70s. http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM197706092962315 … 1/2
