But I mean, something did happen in 1971 specifically. And just because divergences can be measured from other starting points, it doesn't mean what happened in 1971 didn't also contribute or exacerbate some of these trends. And it seems pretty clear to me that there was a divergence of some kind in the 1970s. Whether or not that's due to taking off the gold standard is up for debate. (I'm not well versed enough in this to say anything definitively.)
