Im not an economist. In my uneducated mind its says either: A: Americans havent improved productivity in that timeframe. (Ludicrous notion). B: the value of the productivity gains in that timeframe have been going to money printing cantillionaires through an extractive monetary system. You'd need to run that past a macro guru. In either case, stack sats cause this system aint working for you

But in 1954 the US was on a gold standard and gold was a fixed price. It wasn’t until 1971 that gold was a free market asset which you would expect to grow in value as GDP grows.
