inflation has still be incredibly high since 1962. cups of coffee at mcdonalds were a nickel in the late sixties. 1.5 acres with a nice house in Greenwich ct was $159,000 in 1976. we could all go on and on. the price of bonds or the price of gold has been controlled in part by central bank policy. they are not necessarily a proxy for inflation.
