Consumer price inflation was essentially nonexistent. There was no central bank. And one of the results of all this was that real wages grew by about 40 percent between 1860 and 1890. The country prospered as never before. Now we have a central bank, we are off the gold standard, we have millions of federal government employees, federal regulations are piled to the sky, and federal government debts and deficits are spiralling up out of sight. And how has the average guy fared after all these changes? Very poorly indeed — real wages per hour for production workers and nonsupervisory employees in February 1973 was $23.24. In March 2019 it was — get ready for it — $23.24. So what all these changes have yielded us is a 46 year period where real wages for the average guy haven’t risen at all.
