the 70s
The 1970s are chiefly invoked as an inflationary comparison: Lawrence Lepard sees current conditions as resembling the decade, while Bob Iaccino highlights structural energy constraints and refinery capacity as a modern inflation risk 17. Others stress that the analogy is incomplete: Porter Collins points to major differences in population growth and debt, and Adam Tooze uses the 1970s to explain how political alignments then differed from today 25. The remaining references are brief mentions of 1970s oil policy, income inequality, telecommunications and war-era economic history rather than developed arguments 3468.

- ● a subject, on the right, under its story
- ⌒ a line is a voice raising a subject — thicker, more items; colour is the story
The stories this entity travels in: on the right, each story with the subjects seen alongside it; on the left, the voices that raised them, and a line for every subject a voice raised, bundled by story. Tap a voice to light everything it raises, a subject for who raised it, a story for its own lines. The crumb goes back.
