1.) The reason that we have all these great resources and spectacles today is that noblemen in the highest tier of the economic hierarchy would collect money from the poor. So, even though the world was being enriched, no one was getting any richer.
2.) Health care and overall health is much higher today than it was 100 years ago. Before, 84% of veterans suffered from a serious digestive disease. Today, only 18% do. Life expectancy is a lot higher today as well.
3.) The lives of the most well-off families in the 19th century contain some horrors that even the poorest Americans today don't even know.
