CALORIC PRODUCTION PER CAPITA

The only meaningful measure of this is the state’s capture of increases in productivity. As far as I know they are capturing far too much, but keeping 98% of 100 and keeping 60% of 1,000,000 are very different things.

The other direction is to question how have we priced outselves out of old age? I think that’s the question that’s frightening. And that’s the legacy of the 20th century. We have priced ourselves out of youth (childbearing) and old age(feebleness) in exchange for hyper-consumption in adulthood.
