IMO, that is purely a symptom of the massive massive wealth gap. The "rich" now are just so much richer than they were in that era.
I do not see that as a net positive for the majority of Americans.
Peter's point that they should now be free to take more risks to make even more money is laughably Keynesian. None of those people are wanting for more personally. Their bank accounts are just high scores to them.
