Weird how that lines up with the collapse of the soviet union
It also lines up with 10 years after Reagan. I bet if you did a plot of “early 20s married homeowners” it would look the same but the plunge would start at 1982.
I'd argue that Reagan was the result of the western elites losing their fear of the Soviet Union.
I'm inclined to agree, it's the point were they gave up on class collaborationism and decided that pauperization and a stick would be more in their favor than dropping crumbs to the labor aristocrats. Also on a superstructural level the point were they began the rollback against anything won in the 1960s and 1970s in regards to civil rights.
I really do believe the BS of austerity and tax breaks for the rich from that era really signaled the beginning of the end for capitalism. When you think about it, almost every industry has basically been making money by living on the corpse of the 80s. It's hard for me to put in to words, but everything produced feels like the 80s but with a different spin.
Ultimate 80s yuppie Donald Trump being President is the perfect poster child of this.
Awfully convenient that "the end of history" seemed to align with the end of having to compete with the only other superpower (wink wink nudge nudge)
the "luck" here and its just existing at the same time the USSR put competitive pressure on western countries not to immiserate the proletariat
