When I was a child, frozen concentrated orange juice was essentially the only stuff available. I didn’t taste fresh orange juice until I was significantly older. This change happened in my lifetime, but has largely been forgotten, along with the dozens of other ways in which our society keeps becoming wealthier. When we forget how far we have come, we make very bad decisions, thinking ourselves to be in a world in decline instead of in one of unprecedented wealth, and forgetting how it was that we managed to become so wealthy in the first place. There is still so much to do of course, but if you don’t understand how we’ve gotten here, you cannot understand how we can go even further.
