"Amazing as it might seem from the perspective of the almost four decades since 1971, most consumer prices moved hardly at all in the period between the end of WWII and the mid 1960s."

Lord help it if CPI had moved. There'd be nothing left to buy houses and cars with, both of which fortunately, although the households largest purchase, are not included in CPI.

<<most consumer prices moved hardly at all in the period between the end of WWII and the mid 1960s.>>

This statement is false. In the two decades from 1945 to 1965, the CPI in the US rose 75%. In the last two decades from 1989 to 2009, the CPI rose 72%.
