The Arthurian said...: The PI curve turns into a straight line when you divide out the price increases. Interesting.

If real PI is uphill and the real Average Hourly Wage is flat... What does this tell us? That all growth can be attributed to population growth? Or rather, to changes in the employment:population ratio?; March 12, 2013 at 6:06 AM
Clonal said...: Two answers to your question. Population, increase in emratio, more hours worked per person, the rentier tax that you talk about - interest paid on private debt. And finally higher compensation to top management of corporations.; March 12, 2013 at 10:29 AM
