I wonder what could have happened between the 1920s and 1970s to cause such a historical aberration. On both ends you have a parasitic rentier class making billions by liquidating public assets, and then for about fifty years there's this sudden deviation from the norm where a person can have a decent house and family and work in a factory and make enough money to buy the things that they produce. Doesn't make sense.
