"We had enormous productivity increases in the 1920's also."

Actually, productivity grew in 1996 and 1997 at about 1.8%. Otherwise, it grew at an anemic 1% during the balance of ths 17 year bull market/pc revolution. That compares with nearly 3% increases consistently throughout the 50's and 60's.

There is a very legitimate debate about whether computers have added to productivity at all.

"No matter how good the fundamentals are markets way over discount them in mania's..."
