The price level has risen about eight times since 1932, so a $25,000 income then would the "equivalent" of an income of $200,000 today -- one could readily afford a Rolls-Royce, the best seats in the theater, and the care of the best physicians in the country. But the 1932 Rolls-Royce, for all its many virtues, does not embody some desirable technologies available today in the humblest Ford. Nor would the imposing dollar of 1932 buy a TV set or a home videocassette recorder. And if one got an infection, the best physicians of 1932 would not be able to prescribe an antibiotic.
