re: 2002 vs. 1983:

I'm not sure there are any useful historical parallels to 1983. There is no parallel to the 1995-2000 mania, other than 1925-1929. But post-1929 isn't at all like post-2000, the world is completely different.

I am sceptical of the government's ability to accurately measure productivity, (or inflation, or other basic economic vital signs). The methods they use to derive these numbers, are absurdly complicated, often arbitrary, and change constantly. I think there are large and growing industries (like the entire health-care industry) where productivity is declining, and has been for many years. If there is productivity growth, it's concentrated in a few industries, very patchy, not a universal phenomenon.
