1972 - 1982 "real" growth in monetary aggregates would be a lot different than the nominal growth in monetary aggregates.

But -- I do not know (without some "hunting") what either number was ...

Rick, that time period was marked by then Fed Chairman Volcker's historic battle against inflation. T-Bills went to 18%+ and SDG&E bonds were yielding 19% to call. There was no way the stock market was going to be able to perform during that period of rising interest rates. Money supply was tight, tight, tight.

You also had an enormous stag-inflationary period in which OPEC precipitously trebled oil prices and that jolted the economy.
