Yikes... this one right here:
(about halfway down)
my economics education is admittedly limited, but that seems terrifying... that says that the entire economy is a speculative bubble, since long before I was born... and this graph ends before the internet, before the dotcom bubble, before the accelerating cycles of VC tech speculation that have happened since... I have to imagine an updated version of this would look much worse.
My only complaint is that I think a lot of these graphs should be on logarithmic scales.
It is easier to see the change of trend line when linear though. It really drives home the magnitude of the problem. Not everyone can properly interpret a logarithmic scale.
