could you catelogue what you think are the most glaring differencecs in the two periods?


Would that my data and command of that period were as full as I would like it, but off the top of my head the two biggest are the political and world position of the US and the central bank postures and positions.

The political and world position of the US is pretty obvious, with respect for it being so low and not exactly trending up. It also has a much smaller portion of world GDP but acts like little has changed.

Central bank wise, Greenspan had just taken over from Volcker who had broken the back of inflation and now we have similar inflation rates as the '70s but its suppressed via BLS BS.
Also, the overall money creation rates in all central banks is much higher now and has been going in for longer.
