that is a very tortured logic. oil cost $11 a barrel a few years ago and is now $60. more people may be using it than before--people who couldn't afford cars now have them in China. but that is because they got richer; NOT because oil is cheaper. That is why I included the phrase, "another way of saying this is that the world is getting richer"....so that readers would understand what is meant by "in a real sense". People getting richer means that commodities are costing less of their incomes, the cost as a percentage of what they they can produce. This has been true for the last 2000 years.
